Path To Sorrow (The Pillars Of Humanity)-The Crucified

Path To Sorrow (The Pillars Of Humanity) - The Crucified Sitting here thinking back On the better days, the days gone past Before the change, the way things were When everything was new and pure When life was free and filled with hope When everything was explained in full Those days are near forgotten The ache of today replaces them What about tomorrow? Will I have reached the goal? Or died forgotten, With not a thing to show? "Don't get your hopes up son, There are no guarantees in life but one That eventually you'll die. That's a guarantee you cannot escape from." So I'm sitting here - all alone It's always worse when no one's home Why should I continue on, If death is the only final outcome? To pursue some mythical success That some have been fooled to think exists? Only to meet frustration and die Still they go on trying and trying and trying I refuse to live that lie But then what is there except to die? I knew I require some change But every day comes up the same... fruitless Failure - far too weak Can't even stand on your own two feet Spineless - you could never make it in this world of ours Weakling - they scream at me Inside your self is the strength you need Hopeless - the strong survive the weak are devoured This world betrays This world, it feasts upon me Failure - so many say I slow them down I'm in the way Spineless - got me convinced they've reached security Weakling - got me pegged As if alone they've reached success Hopeless - all I am, the difference between This world betrays This world, it feasts upon me Failure - I feel defeat But I see now they're hiding something Spineless - draw my attention far away from hope Weakling - away from God, away from love Shake their fists at him above Hopeless - could it be? He shakes the world the lie they hold This world betrays This world, it feasts upon me The World betrays This world, it feasts upon me This world betrays This world, it feasts upon me My loneliness is evidence of my failure To stay would mean to pursue some goal That has eluded me so far They tell me that I need only myself, that I need no one else Unfortunately that way of life leaves me nothing but hell!
