Life is warfare
A constant struggle to achieve
All of the things
You wanted to be
Will never come so easily
This is madness
But in the madness there is truth
For all of the things
You hope to gain
Sacrifice now must be made
Through the years
The times of hardship will arise
Suffer the pain
Surrender or fight
Follow the path you know is right
These are dark times
And nothing seems to go your way
At every turn
They criticize
Tell you how to live your life
Suffering
Is the rite of passage gained
To possess the dreams you crave
Through the hard times there is good, all because
Life's a game
A game of zero gain
All pleasure and pain
That's the agony and ecstasy
Through shadow, now you must walk the path
Through struggle, you're tested, there's no turning back
Believe, this torment will guide you on your way
To greatness, as long as you don't go astray
Now see the way through agony
To be the one you wish to be
Light at the end of the tunnel
Breakthrough
Take what belongs to you
Stay in the path of destruction your pain will last forever
Destroy your opposition the time is now or never
Decide what's right for yourself no one else can answer
The pressure cuts like a knife don't let it sever
Your life
After the fall
The times of hardship now subside
Through hell and back
The journey you take
Reap the reward of their mistake
End of sadness
You've conquered what stood in your way
All of the things
You hoped to gain
Are now there for the taking
Suffering
Is the rite of passage gained
To possess the dreams you crave
Through the hard times there is good, all because
Life's a game
A game of zero gain
All pleasure and pain
That's the agony and ecstasy
Through shadow, now you must walk the path
Through struggle, you're tested, there's no turning back
Believe, this torment will guide you on your way
To greatness, as long as you don't go astray
You've fought, and won, the battle is done
But now the war of keeping it all has begun
Rise against the tide
