THIS SHOCK THAT WE FELT AT THE WORD
OF YOUR LOSS THAT DAY
IT BROUGHT THE STRONGEST TO THEIR KNEES
WITH THE PRICE THAT YOU PAID
THE FATE OF THE ONE WILL SHAPE WHO REMAINS
BUT WE'LL NEVER TRULY KNOW THE PAIN
THOUGH YOU STRUGGLED ALONE
YOU TAUGHT US ALL A COURAGE WE'D NEVER KNOW

SPARE THIS SAINT OF SONG

We felt the weight you poured
Through the ragged words on pages that we've torn
We failed to see the signs
The answers couldn't stop the tears we dried
You heart is silent now
Your voice will live forever
We'll find a way to carry it somehow

YOU STARED DEATH IN THE FACE
DESPITE THE MOUNTAINS OF MEN
IT LEAVES IN IT'S WAKE
YOU KNEW THE TOLL IT'D TAKE
JUST ONE LAST SONG
TO MAKE US STRONG
WE CAN'T BEGIN TO THE SEE THE WORLD
THE SAME WAY WITH YOU GONE

They covered us
The echoing we felt
Pushing through the end
They shook the ground
The quaking voices stirred
A rescue never felt

It was not your time
It was not your time
There was so much more for you to see
It was not your time
It was not your time
There was so much more for you to share and help the hurt believe

We felt the weight you poured
Through the ragged words on pages that we've torn
We failed to see the signs
The answers couldn't stop the tears we dried
You heart is silent now
Your voice will live forever
We'll find a way to carry it somehow
