I know your fear of loss and your struggles with faith And how it takes everything that you have to face the day The virtues you possess now bring eternal pain All you have is contempt for a life you can't obtain All your heroes have failed you yet you try and prevail Face your torment and dismantle your doubt Refuse this legacy of shame and deceit 'Cause the only real truth in your life that you know is hostility Your world is coming apart Remain steadfast Oh perseverance Against all opposition Crushing all limitations (perseverance) Pure strength through solitude Discipline and determination You can't accept what you've been told Anchored in sin you must reverse your descent Declare the weight of the world has yet to claim you And admit that your faults will not restrain you Glimpses of fate bring light to your despair Realize hope isn't short of your grasp Resurrect every dream that you buried alive And never succumb to the war that you fight in your heart Your world is coming apart Remain steadfast Oh perseverance Against all opposition Crushing all limitations (perseverance) Pure strength through solitude Discipline and determination
