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
