Grateful Song

Arise, my sweet conviction
Your time has finally come
Though your home is no place to speak of
Well, it gave you the courage to run

And I am grateful your company
And I am grateful to belong
And I am thankful for the misery
From which I stole this grateful song

Partly written out of habit
And 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 that I'm not
If I forego a love for my brothers and my sisters
With a pledge of allegiance to a god

God of pain, a god of tragedy
God of hatred and deceit
God of hapless, helpless agony
One cat I hope we'll never meet

But we are grateful for your company
And we are grateful you belong
And we are thankful for the misery
From which we stole this grateful song
