Lyrics to Born From Pain
Strength. Born from pain. Beyond that of my flesh
Betrayed, robbed and beaten, but not defeated
Through my search for allies, I have found myself
Persistence is the answer to regain all that was taken

Hatred drives me onwards across to desolation
Of dying dreams and failure to find I am my own salvation

From the experience of injustice
From the horror that I have witnessed
Comes the knowledge that freedom
Must be won

Strangled by frustration, no longer will I be my victim
My patience is waning, now all it takes is one spark to set me off
I have to try to find some peace and hold that peace inside

Before it gets too late
Emancipate my mind
My mind

Breathing life into my visions
Forcing them into reality
From paradise into the inferno
Into paradise, into paradise
