Give me grace to meet the hand that strikes me down
Bury my faith in this bitterly contested ground
We didn't want this
We didn't make this
Still we give ourselves retrieving your mistakes

We didn't ask for this
Still we lie in the beds that you make
And terror sweeps the face at zero
We didn't want this
We didn't make this
Still we give ourselves retrieving your mistakes
We didn't want this
We didn't ask for this
Still we lie in the beds that you make
And terror strikes the face at zero
