Pain & Suffering

What is this pain What is this suffering Pain and suffering A void, a darkness begins to take ahold of this soul Deep in my chest It knows me, but it's not the pain It's not the suffering that scares me the most It's just the cold The emptiness, when there's nothing left The days of solitude, they have beaten me down Over and over, I have come to the end I'm just waiting for a word from You This brokenness I feel in this It's just too much to bear Tearing away the lost and forgotten dreams That I once held I've laid them all but down To quit, the easy road, something I'll never know The weight is too much This mountains too high The dark's closing in But the fire inside is alive Eternally the fire burns A voice in the valley Will you trust in me When the world around you is dying Inside, the Spirit speaks Setting fire to my weakness The cold it burns away A man, made new in his suffering Pain - Suffering I can't see through this fog I don't understand Is this the end Am I all alone Pain - Suffering Forged in flames Pain and suffering Refined by pain Forged in suffering As wind blows from the valley The fire inside still remains The fire burns Forged in suffering As wind blows through the valley The fire inside still remains

Fighting to save your traditions Pointless endeavors and missions Talk is all I hear empty words from the heart to your mouth Impotent vision throwing stones from cathedrals Empty pews dead institutions Paying the fee, 10% Country club, now you're in, bankrupt religion We do the same thing every night every day Nothing has changed, nothing has changed Nothing A time will come when silence is betrayal A time will come when your voices will not be heard The years that we've chosen to say nothing They'll all return The guilt, the shame, the pain and the anger So we break these chains Of religion, of tradition Moved to action So we break these chains Of a system that has coaxed us to sleep Don't need religion So we break these chains Religion has never set men free Religious guilt dies with me Weight of the world Chains falling down Weight of the world Chains falling down I won't be buried I won't be buried in chains I won't be buried I won't be buried in chains I won't be buried in chains I'm free from the shame I won't be buried in chains I'm free from the shame Religious guilt dies with me Religious guilt dies He was chained Crushed, despised, denied Tortured, executed by the state Buried and lives today And for what For us to be judge, jury and executioner Judge Judge Judge Jury Execute Judge Jury Execute

I saw the shadow I heard his voice whisper my name I felt the chill of reality When your spirit went away I felt the tears running down my face I knew he smiled as I felt the sting My mind raced as I heard his deceit "Death robbed your family today" I felt my stomach sink The PAIN, the SUFFERING I felt the chill of mortality As I watched your color fade I closed my eyes and I saw your face I felt it burn into my memory It's a picture I can never erase Death took my father away Life is short Death is coming Life escapes But death comes hunting Every man, born of flesh Will take with him nothing What he leaves, memories That will be his LEGACY Face the trials Face the pain Face the fears Your final breath, drawing near DEATH IS A THIEF Death steals for keeps Death is coming There is no escape But death is not your destiny Death is a thief, death steals for keeps Life is Life is short Death comes hunting Some men die now, some men die later Some men live for reasons beneath them Some live for greater At the moment of my death As I take my final breath Fatality Not a moment left and I step into eternity Into eternity Will I be afraid? What will await me? Will I see my father, my family? This life I lead, will it matter at all Buried six feet deep, body wrapped in pall I feel the shadow It's coming for me Do I really believe Death is not the end

Shot in the back, point blank We caused this pain and suffering What happens The streets are crowded With those we've rejected and neglected The demonstrations of frustration Because of brutality Your god: Politics Turning brother against his brother Build up your wall of hate: Brick by brick Turning sons against their fathers It makes me sick to see us hate one another Turning fathers against their sons No love lost, just blood Turning fathers against their sons No love lost, just blood No love lost Just blood Turning fathers against their sons Crushing with weight, rooted in hate Brick by brick Brick by bloody brick Crushing with weight, rooted in hate Brick by brick Crushing with weight, rooted in hate Cities built with bloody bricks How can I not call it out? Chaos fills the streets It makes us enemies Blinded by politics We eliminate what makes us unique No one is listening But everyone screams what they believe It's institution versus humanity Turning fathers Turning fathers against their sons We built this monstrosity, brick by brick We built this brick by bloody brick
