Can't count the cost
Raise broken hands
To all past glory
I played my part
Now they're letting me go home
A loner
Alone, undone
A loner
Alone and dead
Can't count the cost
Still cursed by one
Unending vision
I'll thank you all
As you're letting me go home
A loner
Alone, undone
A loner
Alone and down
Raise broken hands
To all past glory
I played my part
Now they're letting me go home
Alone, undone
A loner
Alone and dead
Still cursed by one
Unending vision
I'll thank you all
As you're letting me go home
Alone, undone
A loner
Alone and down

For anyone wondering, this isn't an ISIS song, as such. It's by "ISIS + Aerogramme" and it's on "In the Fishtank 14."
Also, i think he says "still cursed by one unending vision" not "cursed the one." I also don't really hear him say "alone and dead." It sounds more to me like he's saying "alone, undone" again. I always heard the final line as "alone, under." (But that could just be that I was hoping that this song was at least somewhat an extension of Oceanic in which love was liquid, and being taken under is the most sublime of possibilities. The title "Low Tide" contributed to this aquatic notion.)
I don't know give it a listen. but the would gave these always gave the song a completely different feel and meaning for me.
The third line sounds like "To all past glory"
amazing song
Uh.. *Aereogramme.
I always heard it as "Raise broken hands to all past glory." but that may just be me, Anyway, this album is incredible.

But in my defence the song is titled "Low Tide")
