Validity Incarnate (Swedish Culture)

I've seen the heavens open wide to bare a storm upon the earth
I've seen a gravestone singe the eye of those who know the suffered
(As it grows the tree will cast an ever rising shadow)
I've seen a moment change a life and steer it from the shallow

The fate of those who will, their fate is what you make it
It's not the fate that changes, only the validation

I've seen the hatred in the eyes of those who say they love you
I've seen the burden left behind when struggle is payment due
(As it grows the tree will cast an ever rising shadow)
I've seen a moment change a life and steer it from the shallow

Violent chaos
Deep inside us all
Brutal carnage
Self-doubt is consuming
Battle, struggle
Facing down the futile
Never surrender
This is neverending

I've seen the vicious maim, the weak and bring about more hatred
I've seen a wound open to bleed in hopes to drive the healing
(As it grows the tree will cast an ever rising shadow)
I've seen a moment change a life and steer it from the shallow

There has always been
A reason to stay the course
As if the path ahead
Calls for so much more
As sure as the sun will rise
The day will come to an end
The reaping of reward
For only those who understand

Violent chaos
Deep inside us all
Brutal carnage
Self-doubt is consuming
Battle struggle
Facing down the futile
Never surrender
This is neverending
