about

A slow-paced metal track from 2011.

lyrics

Thoughts
Shape
Nothingness
And all the world

Tears
Fall
Heavily
On sea and earth

Thoughts steal
time
And time’s a
thief

From
Efforts Chains
Grief
is concieved

You who carry worlds
You who bear ideals
Lonely are the brave
And burdened are those who seek

Circle to circle
Life to life
Never learning
Always strife

We build up our prison
With wishes us granted
We take things for such
Mesmerized and enchanted

Like this we will die
Lame and forgot’
Unarmed and defenseless
To fade and to rot

If the people and mountains
Who carry us forth
Through historys’ echoes
Are lost in this war

You who carry worlds
You who bear ideals
Lonely are the brave
And burdened are those who seek

Atlas, who shed more tears than men
His shoulders hold the sky up high
His life may have been in vain
But his death means we survive
