What is this pain What is this suffering Pain and suffering A void, a darkness begins to take a hold of this soul Deep in my chest It knows me, but it's not the pain It's not the suffering that scares me the most It's just the cold The emptiness, when there's nothing left The days of solitude, they have beaten me down Over and over, I have come to the end I'm just waiting for a word from You This brokenness I feel in this It's just too much to bear Tearing away the lost and forgotten dreams That I once held I've laid them all but down To quit, the easy road, something I'll never know The weight is too much This mountains too high The dark's closing in But the fire inside is alive Eternally the fire burns A voice in the valley Will you trust in me When the world around you is dying Inside, the spirit speaks Setting fire to my weakness The cold it burns away A man, made new in his suffering Pain, suffering I can't see through this fog I don't understand Is this the end Am I all alone Pain, suffering Forged in flames Pain and suffering Refined by pain Forged in suffering As wind blows from the valley The fire inside still remains The fire burns Forged in suffering As wind blows through the valley The fire inside still remains
