A Strength Within - Still Searching (2011)



A Strength Within - Still Searching (2011)

A Strength Within just put out their latest 7inch out on Perspective Records
a few months ago called 'Still Searching.'
I love this band, and so should you. 'Still Searching' is a large step further than 'Never Lose Sight'. Darker and heavier without sounding forced. I would like to call it honest and intense hardcore.

Here you can find 'Still Searching'. I included their debut EP 'Never Lose Sight' and the song 'Perspective' from the This Is Belgium-compilation so you got the whole discography in one click.
Enjoy!

A Strength Within - Never Lose Sight lyrics

Since I know I'm not the only one who is always searching for lyrics, I figured I'd put the lyrics from the EP 'Never Lose Sight' from A Strength Within online, so here it goes!
Check out this band here:

Embrace A Change

For way too long you lived your life in vain
and always looked back to what could have been
founded peace with shattered dreams
what does life still mean to you
although always inevitably we are given a choice

embrace
don't look at me for guidance
a change
these fingers shut on voices that pass through

in my eyes you started dying ever since that very moment
but your heart was already moldered
no one can be that loyal
I guess this makes you a hero, only they live for others
that's why it's hard to hate you
why take away your life now
when you were dead for all those years

embrace a change
what good's a heart when it's unclaimed
most things are out of our hands
except our own lives

healing is something that happens in times of clarity
missed chances only matter in broken memories
I never thought it would end like this
so tragic

Salvation

thinking about tomorrow's tensions and fears
makes us feel so cold inside, colder than ice
yet, it feeds our hearts with sparks
from which one day a fire will start
vicious in our lust for more

how can't life mean more than what it seems
there must be another way
than living life down on your knees
and give away all what's left from dignity
salvation fulfill us

in all our rage lies a tense grain of content
this voice will never extinguish
this is how we will be remembered

Young & Angry

Young and agry with nothing to lose
searching for pillars of strength
in a world that is designed to hold us down
all we've got is today
because tomorrow might never come

time marches on with or without us
it's eating us alive
a weight so massive, even more than life itself
let's keep these moments in our hands
refusing to be slaves to our awaiting destiny

dream as if you'll live forever
live as if you'll die today
in four words we can sum up everything
we've learned about life
it wears us down

Whatever Happens They Call Fate

Let's talk about living up to something
like a false ideal measured only by the worshipper himself
all based on misjudgement

cliffs all around can't get any higher
so now you search for grace in another's embrace
don't tell me that it harbors better days
you'll turn out neglected

break the chains that hold
or carry the weight of a wasted life
turn away from that haven which dominates your mind
find your own source of enlightenment
set sail now

it's sink or swim

the waves crashing down on one are his to bare
don't rely on any guardian angels

don't depend on others to give you strength
but find it within yourself
this is for all those who search for something more
without the mind being clear
you'll leave this world with questions left unanswered
your ignorance means acceptance without questioning

Break Through Solitude

throughout life's setbacks that we faced
we walked a million steps towards our dreams
unaware that all our passion
could never even break through solitude
but we resign to give in or be trapped
between live and death

life or death

life's a struggle and while we put us to the test
we're holding on to ideals that rise above a trend
all around us paths taken with shallow intent
afraid to be a so called 'minority'

wishes and hopes mean nothing
untill you take the first step
towards making them something
where there is no heart there is no strength

heart and strength

the few who do are envied by those trapped in a state
of emptiness and apathy
and the sum of their fears will fill them with regret
because of their rash actions

we're in this together and are all destined for a fate
no one can escape from
and when we fall you'll see the glaring eyes
that will never waste a tear

live life for yourself
and stand up to what descends
hold on to something solid
always look forward
built to last
