LIFE IN THE TRENCHES
VERSE 1
We were young and strong, We were only kids when we started striving
At 8 I left my parents for friends, together we voiced the streets paving ways for a future we know nothing about
Endangering our lives, being addicts to some substance
An attack on one of us, is an attack on all of us, was our attitude
Taking risk our parents was unaware of, making moves hoping would brighten our future after being in the dark since birth.
CHORUS
THE TRENCHES is not for the weak but the strong
What one generation tolerates, the next generation embrace
Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls;
The most massive characters are seared with scars
We are the alchemist of pain, wielding the power of divinity
to transmute suffering into strengths.
VERSE 2
It's a resolution for greatness, that was our theme or motor
That spirits birthed in us kept us going, even when we were at the edge of relenting.
So many times we prayed but still have to wait for an answer
We cried for help, excuses was our answers.
But we cannot simply sit and stare at our wounds forever
CHORUS....
VERSE 3
Religious war have taken the lives of many, all in the name of money and supremacy, while my parents keeps telling me oneness.
The Governments don't bothers, they keep on showing supremacy
Looting and deceits is their agendas
While my parents keeps telling democracy, the system is not for the TRENCHES
CHORUS....
VERSE 4
Nowadays youths had gone crazy, they only do what is instant gratifying
Men of integrity are now slaves, to men of dishonesty
People always looking for ways to survive, so many now lives in trauma
Because of a future filled with uncertainty
We forget to fully live in the present, unaware that, what deprived us from fulling living now
Would also deprive us from fulling living in the future, from pains to pains, day by day.
CHORUS....
VERSE 5
We walked side by side, having each others backs, with love stronger than fear
Telling ourselves life is stronger than death, even when we know death is inevitable
With our hope stronger than despair, taking risks so we can thrive
Unaware of the enemy within, within our cycle there's another
Plotting our ruin, just to to take our place, but glad discernment was our guard.
CHORUS....
