In darkness born, the seed of grief did bloom within A shadowed veil, where whispered winds lament the sin The soul in chains, to silence bound, yet seeks the flame To find in sorrow’s axiom a truth untamed Upon the shore, where tides of doubt relentless roar I cast my soul, a vessel lost, yet seeking more For every tear, a mirrored truth in sorrow’s gaze Reflects the heart, and leaves the mind in endless maze For in the axiom of pain, the truth resides A truth unseen, yet felt in all the heart confides Beneath the weight of time’s eternal silent strain The mind is torn, yet from this wound comes wisdom’s gain To suffer is to know, to bleed is to behold The fragile truths of life in agony untold To suffer is to know, to bleed is to behold The fragile truths of life in agony untold In every star, a glimmer of despair unfolds A cosmic cry that echoes what the heart still holds The silent night, though still, is not without its plea For in its depth, the pain of ages whispers free Yet still I stand, though weathered by the storm's cruel hand A fragile soul, who dreams of peace in distant land And though the path is paved with sorrow’s jagged stone I walk it still, for in this pain, I'm all alone For in the axiom of pain, the truth resides A truth unseen, yet felt in all the heart confides Beneath the weight of time’s eternal silent strain The mind is torn, yet from this wound comes wisdom’s gain To suffer is to know, to bleed is to behold The fragile truths of life in agony untold To suffer is to know, to bleed is to behold The fragile truths of life in agony untold Oh, cruel fate, thou art the sculptor of this heart Yet in thy hand, a masterpiece doth tear apart For in the shards of sorrow's broken glass I see The fragile light of all that I am meant to be For in the axiom of pain, the truth resides A truth unseen, yet felt in all the heart confides Beneath the weight of time’s eternal silent strain The mind is torn, yet from this wound comes wisdom’s gain To suffer is to know, to bleed is to behold The fragile truths of life in agony untold To suffer is to know, to bleed is to behold The fragile truths of life in agony untold The axiom of pain, my guide, my cruel delight In endless dark, it leads me through the shadowed night
