The Stone Rises Again
Abismo Cavado e Medicado
I wake up, push, reach the top, it rolls back down
I wake up, push, the clock shows no mercy
Thirty years pushing the same weight uphill
Only to see it roll back down before I can even confirm it
They call it routine, I call it a sentence
Punch the clock, push the rock, head back to the gate
No one asks if I chose this punishment
They only demand results, they only demand the struggle
There's no summit that's the end only the next one
There's no prize at the end only the valley that lingers
Whether it's fate's punishment or just my job
It doesn't change the weight of the stone on my cracked shoulder
The stone rises again and I rise with it
The stone rises again this is the only war
There's no meaning in the climb
But I decide how I carry it
They ask why I keep going if nothing changes
Because stopping is the only defeat that won't fade away
If the world is absurd, I don't need to lie
I just need to push on with my back straight until the end
I won't pretend the stone has a sacred purpose
I won't pretend this cycle was designed for me
But on the climb, only on the climb, I choose my pace
No one chooses for me how I carry this burden
There's no summit that's the end only the next summit
There's no prize at the end only the valley that lingers
Whether it's fate's punishment or just my job
It doesn't change the weight of the stone on my cracked shoulder
The rock climbs again and I climb with it
The rock climbs again this is the only battle
There's no meaning in the climb
But I decide how I carry it
Climbs
Rolls
Up
Again
They say I should hate this hill
But it's by climbing it that I discovered who I was
If it doesn't make sense, I'll make my own
It's the only thing the stone will never take away
The rock climbs again and I climb with it
The rock climbs again this is the only battle
There's no meaning in the climb
But I decide how I carry it
And I'm happy pushing
