I didn't know the man who spoke to me
He wove a golden story
A silken web of myth and mystery
In laggard days before he found forever
He traveled rail and road from town to town
Across the fields and prairies
With songs of open souls at last unbound
No burden left to carry
No burden left to carry
And the truth that he told we could not ignore
Few were blind to the rhyme of his reasons
Cause he knew what the last act held in store
And the bells rang down through the seasons
And the bells rang down through the seasons
And the bells rang down through the seasons
Sifting through the ashes for a map back to the flame
Destination inward bound's a journey just the same
So when you get to where you go just maybe
Maybe you'll recall, you'll recall
There's no burden left to carry
No cross to bear
No secrets buried away
There's no burden left to carry
No cross to bear
No secrets buried away
Memories of moments past that never will return
Once the bullet leaves the gun once the circuits burn
The hands of fate will not be there to catch you
Catch you when you fall
Cause after all even after all
There's no burden left to carry
No cross to bear
No secrets buried away
There's no burden left to carry
No cross to bear
No secrets buried away
I awoke from the drama of my dreams
Under once quiet skies
Unsanctified
Life is never quite as it seems
And I wonder why
There's no burden left to carry
No cross to bear
No secrets buried away
There's no burden left to carry
No cross to bear
No secrets buried away
