Beyond Our Suffering

(album: The Powerless Rise - 2010)

What we see now is only a fraction...

Bound to learn the hard way (hard way), this is the human condition.
There is nothing that can be said to stop us from making mistakes.
When I look to myself as a source of ending pain, no matter how many times before I've failed.

Ya...
It seems our problems solve themselves when... when we look beyond us to those truly in hell.

The more I focus on myself, then the more helpless that I become.
So why not erase this point of view? My suffering is trivial...
Beyond our suffering. Ya... ...compared to those who know real agony.

It seems our problems solve themselves, when we look beyond us to those truly in hell.
It seems our problems solve themselves, when we look beyond our suffering.
It seems our problems solve themselves, when we look beyond our suffering. Go...

My trials seem insignificant now.

Why won't we look beyond us? Why won't we look beyond our despair?
It seems our problems solve themselves, when we look to those truly in hell. Go...

Personal redemption cannot change the world,
unless we lay down our lives for those who still suffer.
