Graciously

The Chariot

She raises up her voice
She raises up her voice
To the public she will speak
She makes her way to stardom

May the warning on your head
Be a chain unto your neck
Don't give in, don't give in
"Come along with us" they say
"Let's lie in wait for someone"
"Let's waylay on their soul"
"Let's swallow them alive"
To the bottomless pit they wait

They take, everything they can bleed dry
And they fill up their house with waste
So don't stay and make believe that they are home
So don't stay and make believe that they are home

Don't go along
Don't beg for blood
Don't set your feet
Don't beg to bleed

Don't go along
Don't beg for blood
Don't set your feet
Don't beg to bleed

These men lay and wait for their own blood to rise up
Don't set the trap for everyone to see it
These men waylay on themselves

I never sang along to the beast
They shake inside their blood
As we pass the storm, don't go: refrain
For, for I never knew your name
From a whisper she raises her voice to me
Unsung
