Suffer To Glory

Falling down into darkness so familiar
Transcend all the pain, be delivered
There′s no end to the tale you're expecting
So much stranger than fiction, your reality

The pain is gripping, your breath is leaving
Composure slipping, no end in sight
No words of kindness, no helping hand
You may die in the end, but you remain

There′s no value in goodness
There's no valor nor glory
Silence, songs with false promises
Distance, the prophets of bliss

The world's not gone, it′s always as it′s been
No end to the suffering, it's the way to the promised dawn

Promises of bliss, so familiar
They beg for your coin, it′s a high price
Selling you all the lies, false comfort pays
They themselves stealing glory, from your future

The losses mounting, the oaths are breaking
The truth revealing, begging to see the light
The pace has quickened, your sphere demands it
Blood is needed from you, you must endure the pain

There's no value in goodness
There′s no valor nor glory
Silence, songs with false promises
Distance, the prophets of bliss

The world's not gone, it′s always as it's been
No end to the suffering, its the way to the promised dawn
The world's not gone, it′s always as it′s been
Suffer to glory, ascend before you meet the end

There's no promises
Of a glorious ending
And yet, the glory will remain
No one hears the sound
Nor seek for common ground
And yet, the deed won′t go unheard

Another choir sings the verse
Yet living songs require such
No hope is left undone
For none was needed in refrain

The world's not gone, it′s always as it's been
No end to the suffering, its the way to the promised dawn
The world′s not gone, it's always as it's been
Suffer to glory, ascend before you meet the end
