Lyrics

verse 1
Take me back when life was sweetness,
and my heart was not my weakness
Before silence chained and bound our
children's bodies in the ground
From clip to clip, the path unpaved
my weary feet the purpose fades
with blood on their hands faces turned away, away
the angels hung above my head in wreathes
their tears were washing my bloody sheets
I turned the knife away from me
and cut the heart from my belief

chorus
this burden so heavy I can't hold the weight
I look to you, but you hesitate
this burden so heavy I think I might break, break

verse 2
if there is purpose if there is fate
that is our fear for we hesitate
and this indifference these faces we wear
with everyone dying yet nobody dares
to silence the anthem that calls on the soldiers
all of our crime on all of our shoulders
we turned our backs we sewed shut our mouths
thinking the problem would work itself out

chorus
this burden so heavy I can't hold the weight
I look to you, but you hesitate
this burden so heavy I think I might break, break (2 times)

bridge
all of our crime on all of our shoulders
we turned our backs hoped it would blow over
silently marching, this line to the death
time to speak now, there's no going back

chorus
this burden so heavy I can't hold the weight
I look to you but you hesitate
this burden so heavy I think I might break, break (2 times)
