Charcoal Grace III: Vigil

So let us drink to your health The gift of eating the world's wealth I would offer up to the numb And sign a wordless welcome To silence In her charcoal grace To silence In her charcoal grace A final lesson to teach The dream that none of us reached A reel that shook the fearless All helpless to bear witness To silence In her charcoal grace To silence In her charcoal grace Gone, the scars too old for a coup Or this new fight for what I could find in myself To forgive you and grow Down to the soil and bones Even with you are gone now I promise that you'll have no such satisfaction I refuse to heal, I refuse to let go There'll be no peace for the prey you ravaged Finally choosing to embrace the damage I refuse to heal, I won't break from the chain Now the choice is made, stamp the fire out They're my shackles now, my righteousness I will burn this hateful world to silence In her charcoal grace To silence In her charcoal, her charcoal grace
