Beneath
the speck of sacred dust,
I drew closer
I drew closer
to find a path folded between time and space
Gentle
as a breeze,
not making a sound
not making a sound
I
drifted for nine years and a day,
blind as I may
blind as I may
To
see my faith, thought I had kill it,
played me a thin game
played me a thin game
I
had found Grace
I
had followed her shadow,
to find her dancing in empty space
to find her dancing in empty space
With
leaves of gold falling all around,
she kept dancing, unflagging her arms
she kept dancing, unflagging her arms
Bless the innocence; the clouds didn't dare to shift in her sky
Yes,
I had found Grace
My bones stopped aching at the sight;
but my heart couldn't stop but cry
but my heart couldn't stop but cry
It's been a long time
my child,
I had failed to read the paleness on your skin
Miserable
I was, as you stared dead right into me
I
had lost myself, my dear,
tell me why did you lie to me?
tell me why did you lie to me?
Yet
so, I didn’t doubt the thought--I thought you were mistaken
Someday,
I knew, I would find you
There
she was, my Grace,
dancing to the rhythm of silence
dancing to the rhythm of silence
I
am deaf and I’m poor,
but child you’re as happy as you could be
but child you’re as happy as you could be
I could cut myself open and tear my old
soul for you
But you
would take no notice,
for your eyes don’t want to see me
for your eyes don’t want to see me
You
won’t defend the devil you saw unbroken in me
Let
pass an eternity,
I would fill my lungs with the air you softly brush
I would fill my lungs with the air you softly brush
I
would desert my all and kill every urge to take you back
Home now reminds me of nothing
but the distasteful smell of ashes in the rain
but the distasteful smell of ashes in the rain
You
have carried me from a different time,
to discover the greatest treasure of living
to discover the greatest treasure of living
But the most heartbreaking thing of all, my little Grace,
is that you have not known anything of me.
is that you have not known anything of me.
