Great Weight

Great weight has lifted

Great weight is gone

Great waves of wonder

Are coming on

The clouds are parted

The sky is clear

The sun is grinning

From ear to ear

No rolling thunder

No gathering storms

We've been sitting in the dark for too long

A great weight has lifted

Great weight is gone

Great tongues have spoken

Hard lessons learned

The spell is broken

The tables have turned

Nobody's falling

Through the cracks

Nobody's breathing

All down my back

No fiery furnace

No tolling bells

No more wandering around the nine circles of hell

Great weight has lifted

Great weight is gone

Any way the wind blows

Any way the wind blows

Any way the wind blows now

I will roam

New moons are rising

Great towers fell

We're drawing water

Up from the well

The fields are blooming

The seeds are sown

The gods, alighting

Back on their thrones

And in their absence

Didn't we do well?

They decided they would leave us fend for ourselves

Great weight has lifted

Great weight is gone

The storms are broken

The coast is clear

The sands have shifted

Nobody's near

You had your chance, but

Your chance is blown

Tyrants go tumbling

It's just how it goes

Their mighty empire

Gone up in smoke

Well, fuck them if they can't take a joke

A great weight has lifted

Great weight is gone

Any way the wind blows

Any way the wind blows

Any way the wind blows now

Any way my love goes

Every way the wind blows

Any road I wanna go down

I will roam

I will roam

Over land, over sea, over foam

Go circle the wagons

Tell me, who can we trust?

We've been out on the margins

We've been left in the dust

We waited in silence

We saw what we saw

It's holy murder

In the name of the law

We ruminated

We watched them divide

Now every time I raise my head, I'm made to take a side

A great weight has lifted

Great weight is gone

Great weight is gone

Great weight is gone, gone, gone, gone

Great weight is gone, gone, gone, gone
