Grateful Song - Villagers

Arise 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

I am grateful to belong

I am thankful for the misery

From which I stole this grateful song

Partly written out of habit

Partly written out of need

With a blind and bold ambition

For to sow this grateful seed

May I call on you if I falter?

If I seek to be something I’m not

If I forgo 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 helpless, helpless agony

One god I hope we’ll never meet

We are grateful for your company

We are grateful you belong

We are thankful for the misery

From which we stole this grateful song

Yes, we are thankful for the misery

From which we stole this grateful song
