{Brendon meets with Joshua and Tyler. Jenna and the Workers stand at a distance.}

Joshua
What is it?

Brendon
Well, the good news is, he said that you can go.

Joshua & Tyler
He did?

Workers
He did?

Brendon
He did.
But there's bad news though.

Tyler
What is it?

Brendon
You can walk, but it won't be like you planned.

Joshua
What do you mean?

Tyler
Why not?

Brendon
Well, you won't be hand in hand,
You won't be arm in arm, side by side, and all of that,
He said you have to walk in front, and Tyler has to walk in back.

Joshua
Why?

Brendon
And if you turn around to make sure he's coming too,
Then Tyler goes back to Dematown,
And there ain't nothing you can do.

Tyler
But why?

Brendon
Why build walls, make folks walk single file?
Divide and conquer's what it's called.

Joshua
It's a trap!

Brendon
It's a trial.
Do you trust each other?
Do you trust yourselves?

Joshua & Tyler
We do.

Brendon
Well listen, brother,
If you want to walk out of hell,
You're gonna have to prove it before gods and men,
Can you do that?

Joshua & Tyler
We can.

Brendon
A'ight, time to go!

Joshua
Mr Urie?

Brendon
Yes?

Joshua
It's not a trick?

Brendon
No, it's a test.

~

The meanest dog you'll ever meet,
He ain't the hound dog in the street,
He bares some teeth and tears some skin,
But brother, that's the worst of him.

The dog you really got to dread,
Is the one that howls inside your head,
It's him whose howling drives men mad,
And a mind to its undoing.

Joshua & Tyler
Wait for me, I'm comin'
Wait, I'm comin' with you
Wait for me, I'm comin' too
I'm comin' too

Workers
Show him the way so we can see
Show him the way the world could be
If you can do it, so can he
If he can do it, so can we

(Show him the way)

Show him the way the world could be
Show him the way so we believe
We will follow where you lead
We will follow with you
Show him the way

{Nico enters.}

Jenna
Think they'll make it?

Nico
I don't know.

Workers
Show him the way

Jenna
Nico, you let them go.

Workers
Show him the way

Nico
I let them try.

Jenna
And how 'bout you and I?

Workers
Show him the way

Jenna
Are we gonna try again?

Workers
Show him the way

Nico
It's time to spring.
We'll try again next fall.

Jenna
Wait for me?

Nico
I will.

{Everyone gathers to witness Joshua guide Tyler out of the underworld.}

Workers
Wait for me, I'm comin'
Wait, I'm comin' with you
Wait for me, I'm comin' too
I'm comin' too

Bishops
{to Joshua}

How are you?

Bishop 1
Who do you think you are?

Bishops
Who are you?

Bishop 3
Who are you to lead him?
Who are you to lead them?

Bishop 1 & 3
Who are you...?

Bishop 2
Who are you to think that you can hold your head up higher than your fellow man?

{Joshua begins his ascent out of the underworld.}

Brendon
You got a lonesome road to walk,
And it ain't along the railroad track,
And it ain't along the black-top tar,
You've walked a hundred times before.

I'll tell you where the real road lies:
Between your ears, behind your eyes,
That is the path to Paradise,
Likewise, the road to ruin.

Workers
Wait for me, I'm comin'
Wait, I'm comin' with you
Wait for me, I'm comin' too
Wait for me, I'm comin'
Wait, I'm comin' with you
Wait, I'm comin'

{Tyler starts to walk behind Joshua.}

Show him the way

Tyler
I'm comin' wait for me

Workers
Show him the way

Tyler
I hear the walls repeating

Workers
Show him the way

Tyler
The falling of our feet and

Tyler & Workers
It sounds like drumming!

Workers
Show him the way

Tyler
And we are not alone

Workers
Show
Show him the way

Tyler
I hear the rocks and stones

Workers
Show
Show him the way

Tyler & Workers
Echoing our song

Tyler
I'm comin'!

Workers
Comin'! Comin'!
