Burden

Intro

Shattered lightning scars the night

Ash and screams where hope once burned bright

Generation cursed, sold to the fight

Blood on the floor, spit in your spite

Verse 1

Every lie carved in glass

Ink-stained fingers, ghosted past

Silent deals carved under stone

Gone too far to turn back home

Chorus

You carry the weight on your shoulders

An unfair burden for anyone to bear

But there just is no other way

There just is no other way (no other way)

What a burden oh what a burden you bear

Without you all is lost (lost) ooooo aaaaah

There just is no other way (but this)

Post-Chorus

No escape, no peace

Shadows chase, won't cease

Verse 2

Lines in the sand drawn tight at dawn

Blood and bone for one to crack upon

Mirrors haunted by scars you own

Promises broken, the unknown

Pre-Chorus

Take the pain, let it scar your skin

Face the end, again and again

Chorus

You carry the weight on your shoulders

An unfair burden for anyone to bear

But there just is no other way

There just is no other way (no other way)

What a burden oh what a burden you bear

Without you all is lost (lost) ooooo aaaaah

There just is no other way (but this)

Post-Chorus

No escape, no peace

Shadows chase, won't cease

Guitar Solo

Bridge

Glass shatters, trust decays

Cursed ink crawling under your veins

Eyes in the dark, never look away

Names exchanged with death and decay

Verse 3

The serpent coils around your fear

Sin and fury twisting clear

Broken fate and blood for stone

All that's left is pain alone

Chorus

You carry the weight on your shoulders

An unfair burden for anyone to bear

But there just is no other way

There just is no other way (no other way)

What a burden oh what a burden you bear

Without you all is lost (lost) ooooo aaaaah

There just is no other way (but this)

Post-Chorus

No escape, no peace

Shadows chase, won't cease

Breakdown

Chains on the wrists, defiance in the blood

Sworn to silence, choking on mud

Hollowed halls echo curses you’ve known

Time slipping, truth overthrown

Verse 4

Endless halls where shadows breed

Bitter taste of desperate need

Writing fates with nails to the bone

Burn the lies you carved alone

Pre-Chorus

Eyes aflame, you step in the storm

No forgiveness, hearts reborn

Chorus

You carry the weight on your shoulders

An unfair burden for anyone to bear

But there just is no other way

There just is no other way (no other way)

What a burden oh what a burden you bear

Without you all is lost (lost) ooooo aaaaah
