Strife Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

All that I wanted
Was a space to rectify
To rid deception
To sift and purify

Filter out the desecrated
Sift
Sanctify what she created

Dying with a goal
In mind to save me
From that which contaminates
Drives us to misery

Die, with a goal
I'm dying
Life, live in nature's harmony
Contaminated, filter those who desecrate

Intent to survive
To sift and purify
