The Way Is Through

We've built illusion, into every failing sequence / Welcome decay in honor of the sun
 This hollow shell, this beacon of suffering / The path unknown, we carry on, we approach
 A death march, repeating, forever in a circle
 And hidden from our sight, for an end we still falsely seek / To see the road, and to not traverse
 There is a cost here, etched in every heart / Would destroy the will, would vanquish the soul
 The pain we hide, from ourselves / And now let us proceed with all that we know, balance returns
 That will awaken to begin
 A new procession
 Toward an undoing
 Stowed away beneath time
 How far can you see, never far enough
 And how much ground must be covered to roundly crown the bluff
 The circle ever bending
 The cycle never ending
 The way is through, no circumventing here
 To see the road and not to traverse
 Would destroy the will, would vanquish the soul
 So let us proceed with all that we know
 This fire inside ascends, awaiting, new light to rise
 Awaken to begin a new procession
 Starlight commands the world be built again
 To start again by ceasing
 We approach, another cycle
 Awaken, to begin, renewal
 Why aren't you living
 Why would you repeat this
