Every step seems to move you back, every breath feels like your last Pushing forward in this endless Strive - slipping one step further down How we subside - when we can taste the end Through these aeons - through these aching times Reject the urge for closure - endure this struggle to prevail Until the end is here - the strive must triumph When all is done, when the weight on your back is dragging you down Before time runs out - we cannot leave this place Before time runs out - through aching aeons Pave your way through the darkest path Drag your cross through eternity Sense a light in the distant horizon Before time runs out - we cannot leave this place Before time runs out - through aching aeons Through aching aeons How we subside - when we can taste the end Eternal strive - through aching aeons When time runs out - we cannot end this infinite march When all is done - this cross is carved into our souls We must - endure - these aching aeons Eternal strive - through aching aeons
