Текст песни A Shield & Sword - Vitrolic

Whenever I look at old pictures
Of when I was just a lil boy
It's hard to discern what I lived for
Or how I had felt all of that joy
Seems like that place is so distant
With all of this pain that I live with
Why did I develop this sickness
Is it cause of the shit that I've witnessed

Why did I lose faith in the lord
And why has my heart been this torn
Fighting through waves of this hoard
With only a shield and a sword

If only you could have a taste
Of the issues that I've had to face
Cannot keep living at this pace
And I know that I have what it takes
But lately I've got this weird feeling
A feeling like nothing before
Searching for so many reasons
And finding new ways to restore
But

Whenever I look at old pictures
Of when I was just a lil boy
It's hard to discern what I lived for
Or how I had felt all of that joy
Seems like that place is so distant
With all of this pain that I live with
Why did I develop this sickness
Is it cause of the shit that I've witnessed

Why did I lose faith in the lord
Why has my heart been this torn
Fighting through waves of this hoard
With only a shield and this sword
