Songtexte Path To Sorrow - 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
And die 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
It'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 what is there except to die?
I know I require some change
But every day comes up the same
Fruitless
Pride (thought to engage then I was defeat)
Fighting (thinking that I'd make it in this war of mine)
Weakness (screaming to be inside yourself is tricking me)
Hopeless (the self survives the weak hearted heart)
This world betrays
This world it feasts upon me
Failure (the very sense will doubt I'm in the way)
Violence (can't be convinced it brings security)
Weakness (can't be faking simple love it breeds dissent)
Hopeless (only has a different degree)
This world betrays
This world it feasts upon me
Pride (I feel the beat but I see now the light is creeping)
Violence (dull my intentions for a ring of hope)
Weakness (with a mind that's sick the mystic alamo)
Hopeless (couldn't be a single eye the world)
This world betrays
This world it feasts upon me
This 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 with me 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
