Aspera
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm in shambles
Blown to bits by our troubles
These brambles
Our stumblings our struggles
Aspera! Aer aspera! per ardua!
Ad astra
It's a forced march
And I'm parched in denial
It's a struggle
Of faith and of fire
Aspera! Aer aspera! per ardua! ad astra
I'm in shambles
Blown to bits by our troubles
These brambles
Our stumblings our struggles
Aspera! Aer aspera! per ardua! ad astra
Thorns! Tver thorns! through this trouble, we are born
