Lyrics Cruel Road - Pallbearer

Old cruel road
It never ends
Tearing down
Every defense
It leaves me
Worthless
Wandering
I′ve lost my way so many times
From first breath
To final rest
I find the path always unwinds
My sunken hopes
Are buried deep
A revelation
Just beyond my reach
And thus
My journey's brought me home again
It′s not what it used to be
Faded tracks recall my origins
And rekindle memories
Forsake that which
I worshipped then
A whole life in effigy
Set foot on the cruel road again
And pray this time will not leave me
Wordless
The constant sting
A future I will never know
Forgotten loves
Left bitter tastes
They died before a chance to grow
Those days alone
Fractured beliefs
Left tattered scraps
Of former peace
Cannot
Let
The old times
Be my captor
The curse
Upon
My life
Must be shattered
Seize
Control
And slough
Away
The shackles
And tread
The world
Unbowed
Until my body collapses
On the cruel road
