Carry the Weight

Intro

Ooh

Ooh-ooh

Ooh

Verse 1

Cold steel in my shaking hands

Mountain of ash where the temple stands

I carved my name in every stone

Now I walk this earth alone

Pre-Chorus

But the shadows keep on calling

And the silence keeps on crawling

Chorus

Carry the weight of the hollow crown

Down where the light won't touch the ground

I built the fire I can't put out

Carry the weight and scream it loud

Post-Chorus

Scream it loud

Scream it loud

Verse 2

Thunder rolls beneath my skin

Every scar is where I've been

I trade my mercy for the flame

Nothing stays the way I came

Pre-Chorus

And the echoes keep on breaking

And the morning shows no waking

Chorus

Carry the weight of the hollow crown

Down where the light won't touch the ground

I built the fire I can't put out

Carry the weight and scream it loud

Bridge

Maybe I fall

Maybe I burn

Maybe I rise through the ash I earned

Maybe I break

Maybe I mend

Maybe the dark is where I end

Chorus

Carry the weight of the hollow crown

Down where the light won't touch the ground

I built the fire I can't put out

Carry the weight and scream it loud

Post-Chorus

Scream it loud

Scream it loud

Scream it loud
