Hearts will burn come what may With lessons learned along the way To free myself I make a choice Just to be heard I lose my voice Finding strength in solitude I fight to fly with much to prove Is this the way it's meant to be? I risk it all I will not fall (Chorus) Carry the weight of the world On my shoulders Rise to the challenge I set myself (Solo) Salvation waits without reprieve I'm on a razor's edge and it cuts my feet As good as life will ever get I wish that I could give it up and go home "The blood drawn from the Atlas Stone It draws a path from hell to home" Fight to survive Succumb to the path Conquer the fear and nothing will fail The quest to define this struggle of mine Gravity defied I climb beyond heights (Chorus) Carry the weight of the world On my shoulders Rise to the challenge I set myself (Solo) Shadows of doubt creep into the light A glimmer of hope never out of sight Out of sight Paralyzed under supressive fire Holding firm against a thin red line Out of mind Shadows of doubt creep into the light A glimmer of hope never out of sight Out of sight Paralyzed under supressive fire Holding firm against a thin red line Out of mind Carry the weight of the world Rise to the challenge I set myself (Chorus) Carry the weight of the world On my shoulders Rise to the challenge I set myself
