Lords of the Trident - Carry the Weight

Kishore Kumar Hits — Lords of the Trident - Carry the Weight lyrics

Artist: Lords of the Trident

album: The Offering

Another slaughter on the street tonight
But this time no one looks the other way
The cries of agony and anger
At the child's tattered body on display
You know who held the knife
You could have saved her life
And now I carry
(Carry the shame, you are to blame)
The heavy burden of my choice
I am haunted by her voice
You could have saved me
(Why did you wait to keep us safe?)
Suffocated by the weight
Of the life my vow would not allow to take
Sovereign city in my care
Full of people who now spit upon my name
I am a child of the balance
Once again I am abandoned all the same
Bound to the oath I swear
But do they even care
And now I carry
(Carry the shame, you are to blame)
Watch them tearing at the walls
As the statues start to fall
Will I bury
(Bury her name, your honor slain)
All the hope of better days
And a familiar voice that's screaming "Run away!"?
♪
How can I carry?
(Carry the shame, you are to blame)
With my spirit running thin
Knowing I will never win
Forever wary
(Your privilege gone, where you belong)
That no matter what I choose
I will always be the one condemned to lose
