[The Grey Divide] [ Verse 1: Male Vocals ] A rusted silver crucifix hangs on a leather cord. The preacher kneels on floorboards, ancient, cold, and deeply scored. An outcast waits in shadows where the velvet curtains bleed. A sinner offers mercy for a broken spirit's need. [ Chorus 1: Male and Female Duet ] We walk the wire between the dark and light. One step to morning or an endless night. The judgment weighs upon the secrets kept. While mercy wakes where all the virtue slept. [ Verse 2: Female Vocals ] Cold incense drifts and mingles with the scent of whiskey breath. At midnight by the crossroads, life is bargaining with death. Gathering storm is screaming as the thunder starts to roll. Two shadows trade their burdens for the safety of a soul. [ Chorus 2: Male and Female Duet ] We walk the wire between the dark and light. One step to morning or an endless night. The judgment weighs upon the secrets kept. While mercy wakes where all the virtue slept. [ Bridge: Male and Female Duet ] Steel. Grate. Slamming. Fate. A heavy iron door strikes stone. The judged stay back as the saved walk alone. [ Verse 3: Male Vocals ] They climb the crumbling tower as the great cathedral shakes. A stained-glass window shatters from the single stone they take. The grey sky splits wide open and the sun begins to burn. A silent congregation watches for the tide to turn. [ Final Chorus: Male and Female Duet ] We broke the wire between the dark and light. We chose the morning over endless night. No judgment matters for the secrets told. Only the mercy that the brave can hold. [ Outro: Male and Female Duet ] The line is etched within. The saint. The sin. Just human hearts in the grey. Fading away.
