Down Deep into the Pain

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

So naïve, so innocent

Yhrust in a world too intense

Flesh is weak, but the soul is strong

And you will bleed, but you'll carry on

Yes, you need your pain, life is pain

I could hold your hand, but you must take your pain

[Pre-Chorus 1]

I don't need sacrifice, I don't need advice

This hurt surrounds me like a dissonance

Anger is power, I use it to protect myself from insanity

[Chorus]

You gotta go down deep down into the pain

Let it purge your soul like flesh to a razor blade

Dig down deep into the pain

Surrender, surrender, dig into euphoria

[Verse 2]

Time may never heal the wounds

Hearts bleed hard even the sun cries moon

Fate is tragic just for heavens sake

The good Lord giveth and taketh away

'Cause you need your pain, God gave us pain

I can hold you in my arms, but I can't take away your pain

[Pre-Chorus 2]

I am not long for this world please save me from myself and my discipline

Lashing out with tight fists in despair, my plight is running from reality

[Chorus]

You gotta go down deep down into the pain

Let it purge your soul like flesh to a razor blade

Dig down deep into the pain

Surrender, surrender, dig in, dig in

Put yourself down deep into the pain

Embrace the bliss of pure sensation

You can't escape from the ultimate pain

So let your senses drift into euphoria

[Bridge]

Blood is thickest when love is bold

But blood runs thin when the heart grows cold

So you need your pain, we all need pain

We were born into this world to feel the joy of all our pain

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

You gotta go down deep down into the pain

Let it purge your soul like flesh to a razor blade

Dig down deep into the pain

Surrender, surrender, dig in, dig in

Put yourself down deep into the pain

Embrace the bliss of pure sensation

You can't escape from the ultimate pain

So let your senses drift into euphoria

[spoken:]

The falling will be gentle and soothing

But the awakening will be as riveting as an explosion

Eyes open to total darkness, body floating in encompassing tranquility

And then the voice came

'hear this voice and know that it will be with you always'

Phantoms of opulent auras emblazed in a repulsively lush turmoil

Of incomprehensible vastness, dance in a sea of timeless infinity

And 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10

Is this the voice of my god? -this is the voice of liberation

Man you've got to be kidding me

Go forth and rise to life rise, rise, rise, rise

You will have the freedom to think and choose as you wish

What do I choose? -you choose in the moment

Your life will be shaped around your choices

And the fight is on, every minute of the day, every action in every way

Is every creature's expression to be one with it's creator

From a simple prayer to a senseless murder

Where do I find you when I need you? -you will search and you will question

Worship me in your joy and curse me in your pain

You will fight, kill and love in my name, but I have no name

Always keep in your thoughts that life is good

But do not fear death, for I am closer to you than your very own breath

And I love you, and I want you to know me

Now beautiful life awaits you, and when I count to 3, you will awake

And you will remember everything I've said

1-2-3
