The Burden

I listen to sound of hunger
I listen to plans of war
I get frightened by the sound of anger
I get angry and I start to roar
Can I take this weight upon me?
Can you take this burden from me?

Let's walk along the field of battle
Let's study how dear the cost
Discover the unholy balance
Remind of the tragic loss

Can I take this weight upon me?
Can I take this burden on me?
Can the darkened halls of death be far behind?

Who hides behind a mask of kindness?
Who's waiting for a chance to strike?
Diversion from the deed dishonest
Just waiting for a chance to strike

Can I take this raging storm in my mind?
Can the darkened halls of death be far behind?

I listen to sound of hunger
I listen to the plans for war
I get frightened by the sound of anger
I get angry and I start to roar
Can you take this weight upon me?
Can I take this weight upon me?

Can the darkened halls of death be far behind?
Far behind
