lyrics

SAVING GRACE

Were you ever really there
Were you ever more than a ghost
Were you inside the circle when I needed you the most?

Were you ever within my grasp
Were you always at arm's length
Were you the force of nature designed to sap my strength

Avoider, avoiding, avoided

Were you a mystery to unravel
Were you a problem to resolve
Did envy get the better of you watching us evolve

Did I make you truly happy
Was it ever black and white
When I questioned your existence did you think I might be right

Avoider, avoiding, avoided

[You do not speak for me
My words are not interpreted by gods
So when we come to spin the wheel of fortune
You'll manipulate the numbers
And multiply the odds...
Will you be my salvation
When all I’m looking for is something to replace
All the faith I had in those who did not deserve it
You need to earn the right to be
My saving grace…]

Were you watching from a distance
When the soil began to rot
When famine starved a generation did you intervene or not

When the sky was ash and bible black
Did you think to make it rain
To bring an end to suffering or were you avoiding us again

Avoider, avoiding, avoided

Did you take responsibility
For the consequences of your inaction
Did you try to make the perfect peace or side with both warring factions

Are you a hostage to temptation
A victim of wrong place wrong time
We watched you torch our villages yet we pay for your crimes

Avoider, avoiding, avoided
Avoider, avoiding, avoided
Avoider, avoiding, avoided
Avoider, avoiding, avoided

Melodic Black Metal from Ukraine. It might be melodic but it is still pretty damn violent & can create one hell of a hateful & aggressive atmosphere! Beautiful & recommended! bmurator
