Verse 1

With the wind at your back, the tide is growing high
And the shores are whispering your destiny
So you stand unafraid, ready to grab hold
Persistently waiting for the final call

Chorus

Persevere and outlast, that's the human way
Persevere and outlast, nothing more to say
Persevere and outlast, that's the human way
Persevere and outlast, now you make them pay

Verse 2

Warriors like yourself have prepared for it
And they never dreamed that it would end like this
Since you've lived the longest life and you're old and gray
Perhaps your death can set your prisoned spirit free

Bridge

As soul and skin part ways, the roll is called up yonder
And the world is just a dream
All is just a brief foretaste of the timeless thing to come
When you see infinity
You'll never be the same again

Verse 3

Now the breeze of the clouds takes you up the mountains
Taking you to somewhere not imagined
Whisked away to a place you only see in books
A land where you shall live in peace forevermore

Chorus

Persevere and outlast, that's the human way
Persevere and outlast, nothing more to say
Persevere and outlast, that's the human way
Persevere and outlast, now you'll make them pay
Persevere and outlast, look back on this day
Persevere and outlast, you'll know what to say
Persevere and outlast, now this is the way
Persevere and outlast, the way to brighter days
Well, here I am again, doing what I want to do with my life and making good use of it. The only question I want answered now is, "Do You Agree?"

(god I just threw up in my mouth, and not because of what I said or did)

Again, this is what I truly believe to be a real death-metal anthem-- slow, but to the point and soul-stirring.

(gee, I wonder if there truly is a better day on the horizon?)

So, without any further delay, the otherworldly, acid-tripping experience that is "Persevere and Outlast."

Good stuff with the lyrics, and a great summary of how humans are supposed to be.

We persevere through all the troubles that life throws at us, and outlast those who cannot handle their problems, whether on purpose or because circumstances prevent them from doing so.

Well done mate. =)
