The Long Defeat

(专辑： To Be Everywhere Is To Be Nowhere - 2016)

The tyranny of deterioration
It worries me that it's all just a waste of time
Taking one step forward, two steps back
Still I believe there's a thread through the thorns
And I believe that somewhere it's warm
And I believe that it's ever bright beyond this black

So keep holding on
To hope without assurance
Holding on
To a memory of light
But will the morning come?
For all I know
We'll never see the sun
But together we'll fight the long defeat

The suffering that I see all around
It's enough to keep me crashing down till I
I lie wrecked and reeling from these falls
Still I believe there's a word in the wire
And I believe there's a way through the fire
And I believe there's a joy that blooms beyond these walls

So keep holding on
To hope without assurance
Holding on
To a memory of light
But will the morning come?
For all I know
We'll never see the sun
But together we'll fight the long defeat

Together we'll fight the long defeat
Together we'll fight the long defeat
Together we'll fight the long defeat
Together we'll fight the long defeat
Together we'll fight the long defeat
Together we'll fight the long defeat
