I Will Be Her (A Shard of Faith)

I'll be with you. Don't ask for silence.
I rise - Shard of faith.
I will be like this. Like the forerunner of war
I don't shoot - I'm against treason.

I'll be the one who enters without a name
Into this gaping black opening.
Where every fear is tested by time,
And every cry breaks the law.

I'll be the one who won't hide
Behind the curtain of other people's apartments.
When they teach me to give up,
I will be the one who destroys the whole world.

Not steel. Not pain. Not with mad anger.
Not because it breaks the living edge.
I'll be the one to straighten it out carefully
There is still warm fabric on the bed.

I'll be the one to take up arms -
A voice that cannot be taken away.

The light that makes it worse
Still can understand someone.
I'll be the one who won't give in to silence
Put me against the wall again.
If the whole world chooses despair -
I dissolve myself in the darkness.

I'll be the one to chart your path.
I'm not asking for justice or revenge.
If the whole world offers to sleep -
We will hide in this city together.
