Gods Alone Know

Each step feels like shuffling a mountain Each breath comes with a boot on my chest Each day comes with a cascade of horrors Each day ends with not enough rest [bridge ] For twenty thousand days and nights I've fought my way up a lonely hill If I go on another ten or twenty more Nothing alive will yet break my will! [chorus] Pockets empty, Heart all heavy I survive despite many blows Meet pain with laughter, embrace disaster Rise and fall, endure and grow Rage and fear, known both through the years Hold onto hope and don't let go Won true respect, elsewhere vexed What's next... ? Gods alone know! [Verse 2] Another trip into the darkened pit Another chance to win or to falter Another clash with fate and circumstance Another game whose rules cannot be altered [bridge] For twenty thousand days and nights I've searched for my tribe and kin The voices whisper just surrender But I'll be dammed before they win! [chorus] Pockets empty, Heart all heavy I survive despite many blows Meet pain with laughter, embrace disaster Rise and fall, endure and grow Rage and fear, known both through the years Hold onto hope and don't let go Won true respect, elsewhere vexed What's next... ? Gods alone know! [solo] [solo] [solo] [solo] [bridge] For twenty thousand days and nights This heavy circlet on my brow No one is coming to my rescue But no one can stop me now! [sting] [chorus] Pockets empty, Heart all heavy I survive despite many blows Meet pain with laughter, embrace disaster Rise and fall, endure and grow Rage and fear, known both through the years Hold onto hope and don't let go Won true respect, elsewhere vexed What's next... ?
