The Virtue of Suffering
How many nights, must I walk Following your trail of blood? And how many ways, must I show you That these footprints are mine? Soli Deo Gloria! Lighter of the heart, fire from the dark Face Down! Fire from the heart, lighter of the dark Face Down! Soli Deo Gloria! I gave you everything! My heart, my life, my soul! Still you push me down! (and so the light becomes a fallen star) I gave you everything! My heart, my life, my soul! Still you push me down! (and so we praise) Soli Deo Gloria! Lighter of the heart, fire from the dark Face Down! Fire from the heart, lighter of the dark Face Down! Soli Deo Gloria! I’ll light the way, in spite of pain Fire from the heart, lighter of the dark Face down! I’ll make you suffer… I am fire! Reckless abusive swarm Speak thy word and suffer more! For thine embers burn without pain… Star! Blaze! Ad scoria, sans Gloria! Twilight bring forth the Ares Blade! Sans Gloria, ad scoria! So let the ocean height Ignite and separate For aeons hath opened wide To descend into mortal death… Soli Deo Gloria! Light the way O Spirit, Light the way back, back into beyond! To free your fallen soul, we bleed… We bleed to seek beyond the light! Light the way O Spirit, Light the way back Morning Star… We bleed to free our souls again! Beneath the star of mortal death… We bleed to free our souls again! Light the way O Spirit, Through endless night. Light the way back Morning Star, Lead us beyond the light… Beyond the light! We soar… Over God.
