Bear the Weight

Strip me to my core Close these vacant doors Just to be sure We've been hollowed out Knees bent 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 Through 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 We bear the weight To defend the man Who would fall in your place At the hands of a king Who is lost
