lyrics

Grace under fire
And the day has
Just begun
I feel something dying
But it's warm bold and sound

In this moment of truth
We see so much more
Find a shelter somehow where
We can draw the line

Can you see the vultures
Feasting on your cornea
Scratching on your eardrums
Forcing you to hide

Can you hide from me?
Can you cope with it
Without hesitation
The moment is gone

Would they fight back if
It happened to them
How would they feel when
The knife pierced through
Would they endure this if
The burden was on their backs
Feeling so hopeless
Nowhere to run
Would they survive
Like I did
Like I did

Grace under fire
And the truth is
We don't care
I feel something dying
Yet I don't know what it is

If
You had been struck by luck
Like we have been
All that sorrow would have not been in vain
And your wounds wouldn't be as deep

Grace
Finds herself melting away in the sun
Then she whispers tender words
To the sky
"I'm in peace, we can all rest now"
We can all rest

Find a shelter somehow where
We can draw the line
When you turn on the light
We see so much more
