The lights my sweet conviction

Your time has finally come

Though your home is no place to speak of

It gave you the courage to run

I am grateful for your company

And I am grateful to belong

And I am thankful for the misery

From which I stole this grateful song

Partly written out of habit

Partly written out of me

With a blind and bold ambition

For it is so this grateful scene

May I call on you if I f**ked her

If I seek to be something that I'm not

If I forego a love for my brothers and my sisters

With a pledge of allegiance to god

A god of pain

A god of tragedy

A god of hatred and deceit

A god of haveless helpless agony

A god I know I'll never meet
