"Charcoal Grace III: Vigil" lyrics - CALIGULA'S HORSE

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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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 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

[Outro:]
I will burn this hateful world to silence
In her charcoal grace
To silence
In her charcoal, her charcoal grace
