The Weakness and the Winning

The wind has been
always living within us
The freedom within
will guide us through
lead us through

 

The sky will rise
always as it has done
of an unreal size
there is no end
We just depend

 

Curiosity kills
Persephone surely knew that
Yet she picked at her will
The flowers she saw
Broke Hades' law

 

But the earth will keep on spinning
Whether we lose or we are winning

 

Pandora's box will remain open
But we're still fine because we're not broken

 

The world will one day come to an end
Kronos's cage will weaken

 

But don't worry about a thing
God is our only king

 

The mountains appear
to be overpowering
even if they're unclear
they still serve a purpose
nothing's worthless

 

No one should fear their fate
All our lives are drawn on thin strings
That can be cut by the Fates
At anytime
But it'll be fine

 

We are all on our path
To seek a greater future
Hercules had once said
"I can go the distance"
and faced all resistance

 

So let's keep on believing in ourselves
Who cares about the burdens stacked on our shelves?


Even Achilles had a weakness
One sore ankle won't loosen our defenses

 

Even if the world has come to an end
And Kronos's cage weakened

 

Just forget everything
Except God is our only king

 

We are always faced
With the greatest of troubles
Yet we are not all alone
Like the Titan when sliced
Returns strength times twice

 

We all want to mold
Our very own wings made of wax
But if we fly to the sun
The wings will melt
Darkness befell

 

So we pick ourselves up
And know that we'll never be gods
But we will fly again
Toward HIs straight plains
And forget our past pain

 

So there's no time left for crying
Put all your remaining energy into trying

 

Some blossoms haven't bloomed like the others
Buds born late when flowered are tougher

 

The world may soon come to an end
Kronos's cage may weaken

 

But just keep on believing
That God is our only king

 

But the earth will keep on spinning
Whether we lose or we are winning

 

Pandora's box will remain open
But we're still fine because we're not broken

 

The world will one day come to an end
Kronos's cage will weaken

 

But don't worry about a thing
God is our only king

 

But don't worry about a thing
God is our only king
