Lyrics

Hatebreed

Perseverance

From Perseverance2002

Written by Chris Beattie, Jasta, Matt Byrne, Sean Martin

Produced by Matt Hyde

Lyrics

Perseverance

[Verse 1]

I know your fear of loss

And your struggles with faith

And how it takes everything that you have to face the day

The virtues you possess now bring eternal pain

All you have is contempt for a life you can't obtain

All your heroes have failed you

Yet you try and prevail

Face your torment and dismantle your doubt

Refuse this legacy of shame and deceit

Cause the only real truth in your life that you know is hostility

[Pre-Chorus]

Your world is coming apart

Remain steadfast

Oooh!

[Chorus]

Perseverance

Against all opposition

Crushing all limitations

(Perseverance)

Pure strength through solitude

Discipline and determination

[Verse 2]

You can't accept what you've been told

Anchored in sin you must reverse your descent

Declare the weight of the world has yet to claim you

And admit that your faults will not restrain you

Glimpses of fate bring light to your despair

Realize hope isn't short of your grasp

Resurrect every dream that you've buried alive

And never succumb to the war that you fight in your heart

[Pre-Chorus]

Your world is coming apart

Remain steadfast

Oooh!

[Chorus]

Perseverance

Against all opposition

Crushing all limitations

(Perseverance)

Pure strength through solitude

Discipline and determination
