Before The Dawn - Cross To Bear lyrics

Determination chained to the ground Like a sledge full of stones A simple question of self discipline Will you walk or crawl Spine breaking load A burden of our own to shatter the backbone We all have a cross to bear Define the strength of the will by endurance of the pain Resolve and determine the reason and the cause By forbearance of desolation Refuse to share or separate, better buried than isolated Dead weight is not to be divided Resist and retaliate, defend and secure the sole fragment Of what is sacred and pure, divine and consecrated Define the strength of the will by endurance of the pain Resolve and determine the reason and the cause By forbearance of desolation
