Endurance Lyrics

A sensation so familiar Subtle constriction, unrelenting Laboured breath I’ve grown old I’ve become so tired But I go on For the richness of life Revealed in small moments How precious these things For which to endure this world Quickly forgotten Deep calls to deep In obsolete tongues Seductive black speech Lure souls to oblivion Pain and grief surround Earth ablaze with hubris Unceasing horrors yet unknown As serpent consumes itself Circa me ardet Et tenebrae nos vocat In terra pulchritudinis Nutrio anima The richness of life Revealed in all moments of patient reflection The self is dissolved A crystal logic connects all to the source How precious the gift Of breath The eternal promise Revealed in brief kindness How fragile the beauty For which to resist all hells Strengthening my resolve To overcome old pain Cast aside cloak of shadow And look upon the sun The depth of a love Restores me in all moments How precious you are I’ll endure a while longer
