Purpose In Pain - Nodes Of Ranvier

Sometimes hope dwells in the darkness

Waiting to be found

With bitter tears we fight through days

That do not seem to end

But finding purpose in the pain

Will shatter doubt and help you persevere

To conquer fear

You must admit that weakness is your strength

Realize that by yourself you’re not as strong as you think

A helping hand is never far

But pride will kill you fast and watch you fall

Reaching beyond all the wreckage we see

Together we’ll find what we truly believe

Crawl through the ashes of our past mistakes

Emerge, so much stronger, refined by the flames

Burn away the selfishness that hinders our progress

Don’t suffocate compassion, that won’t bring you happiness

Know there is another way to live and die

With darkness left behind

We must deny

Deny ourselves these lusts kill from inside

Don’t attempt to bear this weight-

Alone you’ll find a grim and lonely fate

This helping hand is never far

But pride will kill you fast and watch you fall

Our faith is tested everyday

The serpent wants us to betray

And turn our backs on everything

That gave our lives a true meaning

And though this voice is loud and clear

He’ll never take what we hold dear

The truth will always light the way

The depths of hell will hear us say

These walls they cannot hold

My ambitions will guide me through

I’d know I died living, then die and regret it all
