The weight upon your shoulders and the fear in every man’s heart
I have seen the strongest men broken and the nearest become so far In the light we are the darkness with a steel will we trudge on Undeterred by snakes in these grasses along a road we travel beyond Don’t believe the treacherous preacher of a god who can’t be alone He will smite the guilt of your troubles and he’ll feed on the sinewy bone
I have left many words unspoken I have crippled the wings of his dove I won’t change the name of my father until he knows the reason he’s gone
When the sun sets on my eyes and the moon has carried me home The tides will shift in my favor and the seas will swallow me whole
Drift behind malcontent souls in line
Don’t grin in their face don’t show them your grace
A slight of hand the most possessive man
A tool for the lost my faith at no cost
The myth of men and their salvation of sin
The scatter of runes and the death of a truth
A touch so soft from that old pain we fought
A guest in my mind uninvited by time
I say to you friend don’t forget where we’ve been
The light and the dark our journey is marke
