Bear the Weight

Strip me to my core

Close these vacant doors

Just to be sure

We've been hollowed out

Knees and heads bowed

Then drowned in our doubt

Lies come from their mouths Just you wait 'til the world falls apart

We bear the weight

To defend the man who would Fall in your place at the hands Of a king who is lost

See how we're bled dry?

The sky runs red tonight

Veins torn open wide

Alone is how we die

They consume

Blood spills from the open wound Cut too deep to start to heal The only thing we'll ever feel

Try to make the moment last Even when they break your back This might be the only time You'll know you're alive

We bear the weight

To defend the man who would Fall in your place at the hands Of a king who is lost

The view of the horizon

Must be nice from up inside The ivory tower

So sit and find watching

Though eyes so blind that

Nothing ever could go wrong

We bear the weight

To defend the man who would Fall in your place at the hands Of a king who is lost
