Cruel Road

(アルバム： Heartless - 2017)

Old cruel road
It never ends
Tearing down
Every defense

It leaves me worthless, wandering
I've lost my way so many times
From first breath to final rest
I find the path always unwinds

My sunken hopes
Are buried deep
A revelation
Just beyond my reach

And thus
My journey's brought me home again
It's not what it used to be
Faded tracks recall my origins
And rekindle memories

Forsake that which, I worshiped then
A whole life in effigy
Set foot on the cruel road again
And pray this time will not leave me

Wordless, the constant sting
A future I will never know
Forgotten loves left bitter tastes
They died before a chance to grow

Those days alone
Fractured beliefs
Left tattered scraps
Of former peace

And thus
My journey's brought me home again
It's not what it used to be
Faded tracks recall my origins
And rekindle memories

Forsake that which, I worshiped then
A whole life in effigy
Set foot on the cruel road again
And pray this time will not leave me

Cannot let the old times
Be my captor
The curse upon my life
Must be shattered

Seize control
And slough away
The shackles and tread the world
Unbowed until my body collapses

On the cruel road
