Machine Head Be Still & Know lyrics

In this struggle are we dead or alive?
Freedom is not existence, it's why we survive
Shake our grief, hold on to belief
It can't enslave us forever, there is relief

No change will be permanent
Our strength enduring bright incandescent
Take a chance before we fall
Backs against the wall

And the sun will rise
Dawn will break through the blackest night
Distant in its glow
This shall pass, be still and know

And there's heartache as we search to connect
Even just for a moment pretend we're content
There is love, know that we are one
We are all in this together, weather the storm

Look into each other's eyes
Make the connection before it dies
It will all disseminate as we consummate


And the sun will rise
Dawn will break through the blackest night
Distant in its glow
This shall pass, be still and know

Is it hopeless? Will the fear take control?
Don't succumb to the numbing sting of defeat
Take this hate, let the bile stagnate
Hoist the head of Goliath, bask in its grace

Stars realign in the sky
Glaciers will melt and the oceans rise
Waves will come crashing ashore
But withstand the roar

And the sun will rise
Dawn will break through the blackest night
Distant in its glow
This shall pass, be still and know
