From Blood to Coal

O ye harbinger of sorrow We hail thy glorious sin Free us from the mortal coil Teeming with thorns of infection Deep within, far beyond devastation From blood to coal Redeem our souls In spite of these impurities Return us to one once more Make us whole Surrender hope and unforgive Believe in lives laid to rest No one leaves here unscathed Your faith will be put to the test In blood, from blood O ye God of mercy We beseech thee Free us from the mortal coil Make an end of the bleeding Why can't you hear us pleading? These seedlings in the soil And the rain from up above Suffocating, we concede Surrender hope and unforgive Believe in lives laid to rest No one leaves here unscathed Your faith will be put to the test It will arrive eventually, final serenity I can finally see it clearly With the gift of sight bestowed upon me
