The 8th Square Lyrics

The trial is set before us and its hard to understand,
The mechanics of this world we tread, the potential in our hands.
Truth is born in uncertain stages and in turn life will reveal-
That though we stand before the crown the future is concealed.
So we must move to face our enemies, and to each of us- his own.
Perspectives change across the board as the last among us knows.
And I am proud of what I've sacrificed and I am proud of what I've saved,
in commitment to a greater good strength grows from splintered faith.
And if the darkness falls upon me in the silence of my heart,
and if the world turns to abandon, I will not fall apart.
For I believe in something deeper than the physics that we share...
and I will strive with all my power, to reach the 8th & final square.

For in every evil, and every loss a finer verity unfolds;
you are free to face this trepidation and with your weakness grow.
For the strongest bones are broken and the soul needs to redeem,
With courage face the thing you fear, so the p*** becomes the queen.

I go inside the darkness, I go within the light.
I find the open s***es, my world is black and white.
