The Crucified - Path To Sorrow Lyrics
Sitting here thinking backOn the better days, the days gone pastBefore the change, the way things wereWhen everything was new and pureWhen life was free and filled with hopeWhen everything was explained in fullThose days are near forgottenThe ache of today replaces themWhat 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 oneThat eventually you'll die.That's a guarantee you cannot escape from."So I'm sitting here - all aloneIt's always worse when no one's homeWhy should I continue on,If death is the only final outcome?To pursue some mythical successThat some have been fooled to think exists?Only to meet frustration and dieStill they go on trying and trying and tryingI refuse to live that lieBut then what is there except to die?I knew I require some changeBut every day comes up the same... fruitlessFailure - far too weakCan't even stand on your own two feetSpineless - you could never make it in this world of oursWeakling - they scream at meInside your self is the strength you needHopeless - the strong survive the weak are devouredThis world betraysThis world, it feasts upon meFailure - so many sayI slow them down I'm in the waySpineless - got me convinced they've reached securityWeakling - got me peggedAs if alone they've reached successHopeless - all I am, the difference betweenThis world betraysThis world, it feasts upon meFailure - I feel defeatBut I see now they're hiding somethingSpineless - draw my attention far away from hopeWeakling - away from God, away from loveShake their fists at him aboveHopeless - could it be? He shakes the world the lie they holdThis world betraysThis world, it feasts upon meThe World betraysThis world, it feasts upon meThis world betraysThis world, it feasts upon meMy loneliness is evidence of my failureTo stay would mean to pursue some goalThat has eluded me so farThey tell me that I need only myself, that I need no one elseUnfortunately that way of life leaves me nothing but hell!
