To Forgive Is To Suffer

(album: The Sound Of Perseverance - 1998)

To forgive is to suffer

Throughout our time a thought escapes us
To enforce a word, no
Holding on to pain, it may seem to some

The easy way to say ok
Twist your knife a little deeper
Words so sharp actions dark
Hide the blade of the deceiver

Enforce the words no more, be free
Alone you might just find serenity

To forgive is to suffer
To accept another day
We choose to give away
Another piece of life
To forgive is to suffer

Once or twice is kind three or four is blind
It is not the end yet a way to begin
The power of words both good and bad

The easy way to say ok
Twist your knife a little deeper
Words so sharp actions dark
Hide the blade of the deceiver

Enforce the words no more, be free
Alone you might just find serenity

To forgive is to suffer
To accept another day
We choose to give away
Another piece of life
