Текст Thrice – The Long Defeat

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

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
