Music by Jouni Koskela (January 2013)
Lyrics by Jouni Koskela (June 2013)

I remember the time everything was meaningful
All challenges to overcome with a dash of hand
This pact of divine alliance was to never decease
And we imagined nothing could destroy such peace

While temptations became the flesh of our enemies
The fear of loss overthrew all the reason
that was to uphold the grounds of our laws;
I foolishly gave in to the terrors of my flaws

This world breaks the best of us
and we find it out when it's too late
To all the love, we grow oblivious,

This world takes the rest of us
and rewards them with the balance of mind
The depths of our suffering remain equal

True, I will ne'er be able to overthrow this disdain
emerging from the righteous path of succumbing to endless pain
However yours must overpower the depths of my contrition
so would the downfall of my sanity constitute a valid perdition?

This world breaks the best of us
and we find it out when it's too late
To all the love, we grow oblivious (like it was never meant to be)

This world takes the rest of us
and rewards them with the balance of mind
The depths of our suffering remain equal (and we still fail)
