[Intro]

[Verse 1]
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 1]
Carry the weight of the world
On my shoulders
Rise to the challenge I set myself

[Solo]

[Verse 2]
Salvation waits without reprieve
I'm on a razor's edge and it cuts my feet
As good as life will ever get (The blood drawn from the Atlas Stone)
I wish that I could give it up and go home (It draws a path from hell to home)
[Pre-Chorus]
Fight to survive (Quest to define)
Succumb to The Path (This struggle of mine)
Conquer the fear (Gravity defied)
And nothing will fail (I climb beyond heights)

The quest to define (Fight to survive)
This struggle of mine (Succumb to The Path)
Gravity defied (Conquer the fear)
I climb beyond heights (And nothing will fail)

[Chorus 2]
Carry the weight of the world
On my shoulders
Rise to the challenge I set myself

[Solo]

[Bridge]
Shadows of doubt creep into the light
A glimmer of hope never out of sight
(Out of sight)

Paralyzed under suppressive 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 suppressive fire
Holding firm against a thin red line
(Out of mind)

[Chorus 3]
Carry the weight of the world
Rise to the challenge I set myself

[Outro]
Carry the weight of the world
On my shoulders
Rise to the challenge I set myself
