What is it, that we're struggling for? 
I don't quite see it anymore 
Life kicks us in the teeth 
Yet something makes us crawl back for more 

Blood and tears upon the altars of our lives we shed 
Blood and tears until the sweet release we share in death 
Hours like days, weeks feel like years 
Decades of Tears 
Yet somehow... 

We'll lose the things we've fighted for 
Each rise is followed by a fall 
We'll lose the ones we love, the ones we most adore 
Yet go on... We go on 

Blood and tears upon the altars of our lives we shed 
Blood and tears until the sweet release we share in death 
Hours like days, weeks feel like years 
Decades of Tears 
Yet somehow everything seems so worthwhile 
For a moment 

What is it that we're waiting for? 
Looking forward to, preparing for? 
Life kicks us in the teeth 
Yet something makes us crawl back for more 

Blood and tears upon the altars of our lives we shed 
Blood and tears until the sweet release we share in death 
Hours like days, weeks feel like years 
Decades of Tears 
Yet somehow everything seems so worthwhile 
For a moment
