[Intro: Tim Lambesis]

It's suffering that woke…

It’s suffering that woke my soul

[Verse 1: Tim Lambesis]

Surrounded by a bitter chill

Too numb to see I'd grown ill

Becoming attached to misery

Beginning to lose pieces of me

'Til one day I was frozen still

Watching as my frostbitten skin fell

It hardened, then shattered and decomposed

Nearly flat lined

[Chorus: Joey Alarcon & Tim Lambesis]

Through the pain that I faced

It was the suffering that woke my soul

Through the pain that I faced

I had to be broken bone by bone

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 2: Tim Lambesis]

Every part of me worth keeping

Alive through the cold’s clеansing

Found a way to withstand the freeze

To survive through thе refining

And everything else faded away

Into an endless snowing plain

Like cutting off impurities

Even though it makes me bleed

[Pre-Chorus: Joey Alarcon & Tim Lambesis]

I wanted to die (live, die)

But You helped me

[Chorus: Joey Alarcon & Tim Lambesis]

Through the pain that I faced

It was the suffering that woke my soul

Through the pain that I faced

I had to be broken bone by bone

[Bridge: Tim Lambesis]

You walked me through the misery

You broke my frame to wake my soul

You saw the hate destroying me

And found a way to bring me home

Shed the scales of weakness covering me

[Pre-breakdown: Tim Lambesis]

It might leave me wounded

But I will finally be alive

[Breakdown]

[Outro: Tim Lambesis]

Through all the pain

Through all I faced

Through misery

Destroying me
