Endure
Endure
Endure
Endure
Endure
As long as it lasts forever
To appease your duty
Surely numbly forward
Down the hall
Look not at the walls
Endure
Endure
Endure
Think no other word
Expect no prize
Let pain be a vital organ inside
Piping invisibly, inherently, simply
Endure
Endure
Endure
Endure
That is your charge
There is no other
Claim it as your art
Your special calling,
your virtuoso fiddling
One note unbroken,
played with a hard
downbow in hand
hoarse from the rosin

The door is open
But not for you to see
Only to approach and reach, you hear
Endure
Endure
Endure
Endure

Endure
Endure
Endure
Endure
Till you finally see the door
See what’s outside, and more
Endure till you pass
Pass through its way
Hear what your fiddle can play
Endure
Endure
Endure
Endure
Until you see the opening door
Endure till you pass
Pass through its frame
And must endure no more
