Per aspera ad astra Songtext
von Fleshgod Apocalypse

Save the world with one hand
Save the world with one hand

Saving my world with one hand
It′s exactly what I've been told that would′ve never happened
Easier cutting arms, sawing legs
An amputation of hopes from a desperate man
If there's one thing I have learned
Is that there is almost nothing that human will can't subvert
But a second chance must be deserved
So the hard way is how you learn how to be a real man

Salvation lies inside your broken heart
I won′t give up without a fight
Don′t despair
I'll find my own way out
Be the only master of a brand new destiny


Stronger than any suffering
Playing chess with my willpower
A war of nerves to the death
I′m coming back from the dead
To save my world

I won't raise the white flag till the end of the war
As titanium will give me new strength
So I can fight with one hand
Standing, walking, running again
Life is too short to let pain interfere with my plans
No surrender or just living in the past
One by one all their dogmas will be crushed by the undead

Salvation lies inside your broken heart
I won′t give up without a fight
Don't despair
I′ll find my own way out
Be the only master of a brand new destiny

Stronger than any suffering
Playing chess with my willpower
A war of nerves to the death
I'm coming back from the dead


I can feel the spear of Longinus piercing through my flesh
I got lost in the depths of despair
Reduced to nothing
I've accepted the worst humiliation and I turned it into deliverance
Like a phoenix from the ashes
Per aspera ad astra

Broken heart
I won′t give up without a fight
Don′t despair
I'll find my own way out
Be the only master of a brand new destiny

Stronger than any suffering
Playing chess with my willpower
A war of nerves to the death
I′m coming back from the dead
To fuck this world
