All, But The Archer - Saving Grace

All I ever wanted was a father to love and edify me

All I ever wanted was a lasting pure embrace, but your attempt was self-serving

and sick

What father would ever do this to his own child… to his own child…

to his own child?

Let me fall victim to perversion: justice died the moment you stepped in

Let me fall victim to perversion: justice died the moment you stepped in

Trust betrayed and innocence taken: silence bought your justification

Trust betrayed and innocence taken: silence bought your justification

You put a price on… You put a price on… purity: scared it into secrecy,

but dormant bodies burst

But the scratches on the surface hinted at something terrible beneath,

waiting to bleed out a secret death: a truth untold, but once it’s spilled

the battle is over

Internal bleeding ebbs long after wounds have healed

No part of me remains untainted by your hands

The guilt is on your head: the blood is on your hands

The guilt is on your head… your head… This war is won

This war is won
