TITANFORGE - THE WEIGHT OF WORLDS

TITANFORGE - THE WEIGHT OF WORLDS Nu-Metal, DOOM METAL Lyrics: THE WEIGHT OF WORLDS (Titanforge: The Unwritten Variable / Trial III) --- [Intro] (Silence.) A low heartbeat echoes... Slow. Heavy. Not the heartbeat of a man... The heartbeat... Of existence itself. Chains groan beneath impossible pressure. One ancient whisper drifts through the void. "Carry them..." (long pause) "...they must never know." Another pause. "...what keeps them alive." The drums strike. The mountain awakens. --- Verse 1 Upon my back the heavens rested. Every sunrise burned through me. Every ocean found its shoreline... Only because I refused to bleed. The mountains climbed upon my shoulders. The rivers carved across my veins. Every season turned its circle... While I embraced relentless pain. Children laughed beneath blue skies. Lovers kissed beneath the moon. Kings declared their glorious empires... Never knowing... Who held the room. --- Chorus 1 THE WEIGHT OF WORLDS! CRUSH MY BONES! I'LL CARRY EVERY FUCKING STONE! THE WEIGHT OF WORLDS! STACK THEM HIGH! I'LL HOLD THE HEAVENS UNTIL I DIE! NO SONG! NO STATUE! NO SACRED NAME! JUST ENDLESS BURDEN... ENDLESS PAIN! --- Verse 2 I watched a thousand ages perish. I watched ten thousand kingdoms rise. Every hero found their legend... Never seeing these tired eyes. Empires crumbled into silence. Their monuments dissolved to sand. Still I bore the stars above them... With broken wrists and bleeding hands. They prayed to gods they could imagine. Not once... To the giant... Who never left. --- Chorus 2 THE WEIGHT OF WORLDS! BREAK MY SPINE! I'VE CARRIED MORE THAN SPACE AND TIME! THE WEIGHT OF WORLDS! LET THEM LIVE! I GAVE THEM EVERYTHING... WITH NOTHING LEFT TO GIVE! IF THIS IS DUTY... IF THIS IS FATE... THEN WHY THE FUCK... DO I STAND HERE... ALONE? --- Bridge (Everything fades except a lone cello, distant choir, and the groan of ancient chains.) How many sunsets... Have I lifted? How many storms... Have I endured? How many names... Have been remembered... While mine... Was buried... Before it could be spoken? --- Breakdown (The slowest, heaviest riff of the album crashes down like continents colliding.) MORE! WEIGHT! MORE! STONE! MORE! SKIES! MORE! THRONES! PILE! IT! HIGHER! PILE! IT! MORE! I WILL FUCKING CARRY IT ALL! (The drums double in intensity.) BUT! WHO! CARRIES! ME?! --- Verse 3 Then I looked upon the heavens. Not with anger... Not with hate. Only with one forbidden question That echoed louder than my fate. If I vanished... Would they notice? If I fell... Would heaven break? Or had I merely been forgotten... By those... Who forged... My chains? The stars grew silent. The fire dimmed. Far beyond the highest sky... Something listened. --- Final Chorus THE WEIGHT OF WORLDS! I FEEL THEM SHAKE! THE SKY ITSELF BEGINS TO BREAK! THE WEIGHT OF WORLDS! I STAND ALONE! NO FUCKING KING HAS KNOWN THIS THRONE! IF MY BACK HOLDS ALL OF TIME... THEN LET THE GODS COME CARRY MINE! THE WEIGHT OF WORLDS! HEAR MY CALL! I NEVER ASKED... TO HOLD... IT... ALL! --- Outro (The instruments fade, leaving only a low wind and the creaking of iron.) Far below... A child laughs. A bird takes flight. A river reaches the sea. Life continues... Unaware. The giant closes his eyes. A single tear falls... Not to the earth. Into the stars. High above... The unseen voice speaks once more. "He still endures." A second voice answers... Quieter than before. "...for now." One chain tightens. *CLANG.* Silence. ©Rustline Records
