The Long Defeat |
The tyranny of deterioration |
It worries me that it’s all just a waste of time |
Taking one step forward, two steps back |
Still I believe there’s a thread through the thorns |
Yeah I believe that somewhere it’s warm |
And I believe that it’s ever bright beyond this black |
So keep holding on to hope without assurance |
Holding on to a memory of light |
But will the morning come? |
For all I know we’ll never see the sun |
But together we’ll fight the long defeat |
The suffering that I see all around |
It’s enough to keep me crashing down till I |
I lie wrecked and reeling from these falls |
Still I believe there’s a word in the wire |
And I believe there’s a way through the fire |
And I believe there’s a joy that blooms beyond these walls |
So keep holding on to hope without assurance |
Holding on to a memory of light |
But will the morning come? |
For all I know we’ll never see the sun |
But together we’ll fight the long defeat |
