Burden - Sons Of Aeon

Another brick on top of the pile

It’s getting too heavy already

To carry on your young shoulders

You know everything’s not in its place

But you have no idea what it is

That is preventing you from

Rising to your own height

A vicious passed on burden

Too invisible to see

Yet heavy enough to make you crawl

To take all beauty from life

To steal all ambition

How could you know?

No one ever showed you any other way

No one ever encouraged you to shine

To be what you are and be it proudly

To not let anyone put you in any other mold

But the one you carry deep inside

Another brick on the top of the pile

It’s getting too heavy already

To carry on your young shoulders

You know everything’s not in it’s place

But you have no idea what it is

That is preventing you from

Rising to your own height

A vicious passed on burden

Too invisible to see

Yet heavy enough to make you crawl

To take all beauty from life

To steal all ambition

Every night on your knees

Making a silent prayer to a god

That you don’t even know

Wake up to another day to see

That everything is still the same

No more faked ambition

Time to put it all in its place

Anything else but hiding in shadows

Let them be you
