BURDEN THE HAND lyrics : "Give Up The Ghost"

What do you stand for?
Get it together, and call me in the morning.
Wait for the truth to come out. Lay the facts on the table.

Be careful; don't get ahead of yourself.
We're in this together.


You sat there in front of me,
broken at your feet,
begging me for mercy.

Is there a reason why you feel so dignified?
As I lay here paralyzed, I think it's safe to say that we can make it out alive.


We are the fallen. We'll burn your buildings to the ground.
We are the faithful. We'll stand when you all fall down.


Patience, my dear.
No good deed will go unpunished.
You'll see how this ends, and you still get the last word.

Was it worth so much to hold yourself up so high?
Oh, how the mighty will fall.


Oh, my God,
tell me who am I again?
I don't know anything, but I feel that the walls are closing in.

Between the ghost of me, and everything you are,
could you please tell me how I am supposed to take heart?


You should know that I know.
You are dust and clay.
But I hear myself in every breath you take.


Peace be still
