Where Leads the Yawning Pit

about

On the questions of purpose and legacy

lyrics

What is the purpose of this all but to span the chasms
But to chisel with our bleeding hands
Footholds in walls of stone
Until every mountain face will stand below

What is the purpose of this all
But to raise a cry
To rouse the slumbering flock
To call our allies to our side
So we can ride unflinching to our deaths

What quenches the fire that burns beneath our skin
What snuffs the light within our eyes
Where leads the yawning pit of anguish in our chests
Were we to listen
Were we to follow

Is the purpose of this all to die
Not seeming to have lived in vain
To see your name rise in smoke
In stories on tongues of yet unborn
In fires with the names of ancient martyrs
On waves that crash
On as yet unformed shores
