Suffering Made Bliss - Blaze of Perdition

Our hearts are trapped

In a spiral of struggle

Futile battle for another dawn

Dreaming of heavens

Heading south further and further

Craving for peace — devoted to war

In search for purpose

In search for meaning

But ending up with vile frustration

For even the richest content

And the purest of joys

Cannot satisfy our hunger anymore

Hearts like vessels, impossible to fill

Leaking the blood, drop by drop

Promises made by us for ourselves

A spark of hope — shield and weapon alike

To hide behind and to strike with wrath

Yet the target is us and it attracts the blade

Every thought we breed tonight

Every chance we face

Every choice we make

They all lead us back

Every dream we breed tonight

Every chance we take

Every choice we make

They all lead us back

Every scar we get tonight

Every memory

Every star and every day

Day after day alone we paint the scars

Layer upon layer and brush is the knife

Day after day alone we paint the scars

Layer upon layer and canvas is the heart

Every thought we breed tonight

Every chance we face

Every choice we make

They all lead us back

Every dream we breed tonight

Every chance we take

Every choice we make

They all lead us back

Every scar we get tonight

Every memory

And this starlit sky

They all lead us back

Every suffering, every joy

Every night and every day

Day after day alone we paint the scars

Layer upon layer and brush is the knife

Day after day alone we paint the scars

Layer upon layer and canvas is the heart

Suffering made bliss

A promise of peace

Self-sacrifice

In hope of serenity

Suffering made bliss

Prosthetic of peace

To kindle a light

In the darkness of mere being

Thicker and thicker

One more scab we paint

To fill the hole again

Thicker and thicker

One more scab we paint

To feel whole again

And no one knows

When it falls apart
