Rule #43 - Chosen lyrics

[Verse 1]
No, don't just trust the words that I say
Because I'm not a prophet and I'm not a saint
See, I'm out living one hell of a life
Digging these trenches that I call mine
I can see you've been digging yours too
From the scars on your hands, and those broken old boots
But look in your eyes, I know we're the same
That's why you and I both haven't caved

[Chorus]
Now that we're broken, we have been chosen
Living our guidance, being the change
Mining in dark pits made us resilient
Forged understanding for who remain

[Verse 2]
No, don't just trust these talеs that I spin
For I'm not your hero, nor the villain
I've been out wandеring for how I will spend
The last of my years that I've been gifted
All I can hope is the dents that we've made
Are recalled with reverence for the lives that we've changed
For those we have blessed, and those we have wronged
A drink to the karma of where we belong
[instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Though we've been broken, we have been chosen
Living our guidance, being the change
Mining in dark pits made us resilient
Forged understanding for who remain
