"The Burden" lyrics

Tear my mind
And blind my eyes
Wake the ghosts
To hear them cry

There's a voice in my head
From a hundred thousand years ago
A call from the dead
It's waking up the animal

If you only knew the empty
If you only knew the part of me
That's free
But bleeds me dry
Maybe it's too much to bury
The burden I was born to carry carries me

Distant scars
The ashes burn
Coldest steel
The blade it learns

It's an urge that I fight
It's the spirits watching over me
Song in my mind
A battle cry I still believe

If you only knew the empty
If you only knew the part of me
That's free
But bleeds me dry
Maybe it's too much to bury
The burden I was born to carry carries me

Bleeds me dry
Bleeds me dry
Bleeds me dry

The burden I was born to carry carries me
Carries me
