Wages of Life

For what is a man that he do not live
His journey be only vain,unreal
Struggle out deepest woods his steps
Journey through time never ending
Walk wisely chosen,his steps unfold
Wages of Life,we pay its sacrifice
One must believe even in darkness
Fear isn't what's there but what isn't
To conquer is to achieve initiative
Demons of your soul, your making
Your killing,your bleeding
Wages of Life break even the strongest
Even in dark we take a breathe
Even our last breath we take stand
The struggle real, smoke laid cloud
We give it all even if we fall
The price we've paid to live
Wages of Life a wolf on its own
A devouring able to conquer
