Eight-fold Path

Songtext for Tendonitis

intro
down in the abyss of my heart
eternal duty claws apart
my being

darkness is strong within my soul
always the battle for control

there’s no relenting no retreat
no hope for truce and no defeat
two sides are one and yet not whole
witness the battle for control

chorus
the eight-fold path
strive to achieve
the tears of things
hope to relieve

bridge
must not falter
not give in
karmic respite
past live’s sin
endless circle
loop and repeat
heathen in hell
no way to cheat

interlude
don’t deny my right to be
darkness is a part of me
for as long as light shines free
shadows bloom eternally

bridge
must not falter
not give in
karmic respite
past live’s sin
endless circle
loop and repeat
heathen in hell
