Down the Line (Pain)

(Verse 1) A man’s fury, his wife’s despair, Plant seeds of anguish in the air. (Pre-Chorus) And down the line it flows, Like poison seeping from the woes. From office halls to broken homes, How far it goes, nobody knows. (Chorus) Pain begets pain, In this never ending chain, pain begets pain, In tears that fall like rain. Pain begets pain, A cycle unrestrained, A relentless, cruel campaign, With hearts forever stained. (Bridge) No end in sight, no light to see, Just waves of endless agony, A legacy of hurt and shame, In this cruel and twisted game. (Verse) From son to sister, sister to friend, The cycle continues, it has no end. A father’s anger becomes a brother’s rage, (Chorus) Pain begets pain, In this endless refrain, A cycle unbroken, Words left unspoken, Pain begets pain, A cycle unrestrained, A relentless, cruel campaign, With hearts forever stained. Pain begets pain, In this endless refrain, A cycle unbroken, Words left unspoken, Pain begets pain, A cycle unrestrained, A relentless, cruel campaign, With hearts forever stained. Pain begets pain, A cycle unrestrained, A relentless, cruel campaign, With hearts forever stained. (Verse) From friend to foe, The seeds of anguish continue to sow. A vicious cycle, spreading wide, We search for connection but find the divide. (Outro) And down the line it flows, Through generations, it grows and grows, A legacy of agony. That’s the way it goes.
