The Burden Lyrics


On a path carved by heroes and dead men

A figure cloaked in darkness arose

A stunning likeness to a tragedy foretold

A journey that would take him

Through the heart of the sun

There's a chink in your armor

Your weakness is showing

There's a price upon your head

That's worth the risk

The halo upon your brow

Is rusty and broken

It's the burden in your eyes

That tells the truth

Heaven can wait cause I got some business down below

Drop me off at the gate cause I'll take the low road

The end looms overhead

The gallows are waiting

The deal signed in blood

Tied the noose

Heaven can wait cause I got some business down below

Drop me off at the gate cause I'll take the low road

Through a forest of burning trees

Follow the path to Hades

To where the darkness swallows the sun

There alone you will find the one

Souls beg for mercy at his feet

A lesser man would retreat

Bound by flesh and bone

A mortal hand wields the sword

That takes the throne
