[Verse 1]

Weary, I watched the cracks spiral and form

Split by the weaknesses, fading and worn

How could I look away, even in faith?

Spun towards insanity, watching it break

How did I lose it all, building so strong?

Rigged as a symphony, wistful in song

Culled from a golden grave, scattered, and tarnished, and wronged

[Chorus]

But I am no coward, my actions have shown

I'm struggling, broken, like crumbling stone

And every past burden, I shoulder alone

By grace

By grace

Forged strong in the fire, I stood through the pain

Through centuries grieving, the scars still remain

My dreams lay here shattеred, come death as it may

By gracе

By grace

[Verse 2]

You think you were the first to see the cracks

But I felt each in my heart as it turned black

Feeling it ripped apart, what have I done?

Caged by the rules I made, leaving with none

Here at the precipice, ending the age

Framed by a golden mind, paired and uncaged

Even my clearest hours, war with his plight

In my own aftermath, stripped of my right

[Chorus]

But I am no coward, my actions have shown

I'm struggling, broken, like crumbling stone

And every past burden, I shoulder alone

By grace

By grace

Forged strong in the fire, I stood through the pain

Through centuries grieving, the scars still remain

My dreams lay here shattered, come death as it may

By grace

By grace

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

To gods, those that hear me, the monsters up high

I stake my rejection and bide my aid's time

Oh, can you forgive me for what I've become?

The mother of curses, my children of one

But I have no power, my lineage burned

A crucified image while every soul yearns

To those I rejected, I pray you'll return

By grace

By grace

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

But I am no coward, my actions have shown

I'm struggling, broken, like crumbling stone

And every past burden, I shoulder alone

By grace

By grace

Forged strong in the fire, I stood through the pain

Through centuries grieving, the scars still remain

My dreams lay here shattered, come death as it may

By grace

By grace

By grace
