Brave This Storm
Trivium Lyrics

Have you beheld how our ending befell?
Have you seen the inevitable end that awaits us?

We are the catalyst; engineered hell
We have brought about our own downfall and created a hellish existence for ourselves.

The depths we've sunken to
We have reached a new level of despair and hopelessness.

The violent things we do
We are capable of terrible acts of violence and destruction.

A cleansing tide would eradicate all of you
A natural disaster or other catastrophic event could wipe out all of us, and some may see this as a form of cleansing.

How did you think when in apathy's drink
Why did you believe that being indifferent or passive would protect you from harm?

That doing nothing would spare you from the brink
Inaction and passivity can have disastrous consequences.

You're equally at fault; now broken by the assault
We are all responsible for the harm that we cause, and we will all suffer the consequences of our actions.

The righteous, the victims, the villainous ones and all
Everyone is affected by the turmoil and chaos that we have created.

I know what you're hiding from
I understand the fear that motivates your actions.

The waves keep crashing over
We are constantly bombarded by life's challenges and hardships.

They pummel me, over and over
These challenges and hardships can be overwhelming and exhausting.

I don't think I can ever brave this storm
I am not sure if I have the strength and resilience to overcome these challenges.

Should we go quietly?
Should we accept defeat and give up?

Accept that all is lost?
Should we resign ourselves to a hopeless fate?

Wash us away in the tides of decay
We are destined to be consumed and destroyed by the inexorable march of time and decay.

Extinction soon will claim us all as his prey
We are all mortal and will eventually succumb to death and extinction.

We're pulled in to the sea; the tempest has been set free
We are being swept away by the chaos and turmoil that surrounds us, and we have no control over it.

I'm wide awake when the lightning comes beckoning
I am acutely aware of the danger and destruction that looms ahead.

Burn us alive for our sins and our crimes
We deserve to be punished for our wrongdoing and destructive behavior.

We are the wretched ones malevolent slime
We are despicable and revolting in our actions and behavior.

Existing to consume; everything we once knew
Our existence is defined by our desire to consume and destroy everything around us.

Take us, break us, submerge us inside our tomb
We will ultimately be consumed and swallowed up by the very chaos and destruction that we have created.

This quest is impossible brave this storm
Overcoming the challenges we face may feel impossible and insurmountable.

I'm feeling my insides pull brave this storm
I am being pulled in different directions by my fears and doubts, but I am determined to find the strength to overcome them.
