The morning breaks a crimson sky
A fleeting dawn our chance to try
To hold the light to bear the flame
In dust we rise yet dust we claim.
With open hands we take this breath
A fragile gift to cheat the death.
Grateful souls in a shadowed land
Each heartbeat marked by Heaven's hand.
Graves beneath and stars above
The thread of time the weight of love.
Our fleeting days our souls at stake
Each step we take a path to make.
With open hands we take this breath
A fragile gift to cheat the death.
Grateful souls in a shadowed land
Each heartbeat marked by Heaven's hand.
In the silence a voice declares
"Rejoice give thanks cast off despair!"
A fleeting breath a whispered grace
Through life and death a holy trace.
With open hands we take this breath
A fragile gift to cheat the death.
Grateful souls in a shadowed land
Each heartbeat marked by Heaven's hand.
