It's true it's so easy to go astray
seeking temporal things to find
that offer nothing really lasting.
Be unmoving,
don't make a compromise.
Draw closer to, and never lose,
that perfect Lodestar.
And while you're here
you might sink down
never to escape.
So be on guard,
you will make your choice
before you know it.
It's a struggle
to trade away the pleasure
for things yet unseen,
for the hope of a future with Him.
Bear the trials
and meet your reward.
Standing face to face with your Maker,
look upon the Vindicator.
Don't give in to that nagging voice
telling you it's fine.
There's really no predicting
when it's going to come and visit you
in your waking thoughts.
It's a struggle
to trade away the pleasure
for things yet unseen,
for the hope of a future with Him.
Bear the trials
and meet your reward.
Standing face to face with your Maker,
look upon the Vindicator.
Hear the words of your father,
my son.
This pleasure that you'll be chasing
is an empty grave!
You'll never take back
those things that you've seen.
They'll burrow into the back
of your mind where they'll stay.
It's a struggle
to trade away the pleasure
for things yet unseen,
for the hope of a future with Him.
Bear the trials
and meet your reward.
Standing face to face with your Maker,
look upon the Vindicator.
