Cross to Bear - Before The Dawn

Determination chained to the ground

Like a sledge full of stones

A simple question of self discipline

Will you walk or crawl

Spine breaking load

A burden of our own to shatter the backbone

We all have a cross to bear

Refuse to share or separate, better buried than isolated

Dead weight is not to be divided

Resist and retaliate, defend and secure the sole fragment

Of what is sacred and pure, divine and consecrated

Define the strength of the will by endurance of the pain

Resolve and determine the reason and the cause

By forbearance of desolation
