» The Burden (Live)

THE BURDEN
There’s a village on fire burning since dawn
and a foul and familiar wind comin’ in strong
no kind of rain can wash this away
hold on to your axe. dig your own grave

And when I’m gone I’ll be so far gone
you will remember what you did wrong
And when I’m gone I’ll be so far gone
you will remember what you did wrong

Say hello to the flood, hold on tight for the ride
keep your head above the water
when you roll with this tide
leave your dreams in the mud, and bury them deep
you better pray for absolution - you better pray for sleep

And when I’m gone I’ll be so far gone
you will remember what you did wrong
And when I’m gone I’ll be so far gone
you will remember what you did wrong

Serenade the lies you swear into the sky
and believe this song untrue
you can try and close your eyes
what led us here can’t be undone
angels were led astray
queens and paladins turned away
the only promise keeping me black and blue

if a bloodless heart’s in a soul that’s stirs
and it needs shelter from it's own bones caving in
send them to me I’ll ease their burden
send them to me I’ll show 'em home

And when I’m gone I’ll be so far gone
you will remember what you did wrong
And when I’m gone I’ll be so far gone
you will remember what you did wrong
you will remember what you did wrong
you will remember what you did wrong
