lyrics

She jumps in a shower of sparks on the back of a tin man
As the last one hits the ground without a head
Her face is full of rage and concentration
But I know she's thinking
of the boy at home in bed

A Russian mad scientist by the name of Doktor Konquest
With a robot army made to enforce his rule
But while we stop his plans for world domination
I know she's thinking
about the call she got from school

He's been sent home for fighting; been suspended
Something will have to be done when this invasion is ended

On the way
I heard her say

It stops here
It ends now
I'm drawing the line
You will get what you deserve

Surrounded by several at once, I lose sight of my partner
The trail of metal bodies makes her easy to find
She holds the Doktor against the wall, eye to eye
But I know she's seeing
the scene replaying in her mind

The smile dying in his eyes when she says, "I have to go"
He says, "Be careful mom," and his voice is sad and low
He's not surprised; this is nothing new
He doesn't blow the candles out 'cause wishes don't come true

And she cries

It stops here
It ends now
I'm drawing the line
You will get what you deserve

A hero makes enemies that won't just forgive and forget
So when Sarah retired, Shockwave had to die
We met one last time at her grave, she had her arm around the boy
They looked happy
happy to say goodbye

It stops here
It ends now
