Overcame with the weight of a thousand earths nForced to live the life of atlas's curse nI am the warrior with a broken sword nA slave at the feet of his lord nThere's no chance I'll ever be relieved nBecause as men before me I have been deceived nInto believing, I'll be rewarded for all of my strain nBut as soon hope emerges the wind blows it away again nThe mirage; blurring my sight and senses nThe mirage; breaking my spine and spirit nFalling to my knees, I'm left to crawl nChoking, sinking, coughing up salt nThe truth inside of me arrives like a squall nThe realization it's all my fault
