Beast of Burden
Lyrics by Pat Baxter & Chris Carlin
Music by Chris Carlin & Tyler Williams
Solo by Tyler Williams
A forest flooded with blood
A wound infected
Attaining vision less sight
Remain neglected
You walked in with your throat slit and I didn’t say a thing
Just turned away to ignore the pain
Hear the voices scream
Beast of burden, why do you burden me?
Like a math equation in my head
I can see everything I’ve come to dread
Cosmic visions, strapped to my mind
Constricting tighter as they start to blind
Everything was a lie
A mirage to cover my eyes
Now that it’s over, I’m left to sit and think
My enemy
Suffocate, collapse, take a breath
Relapse, the stench distracts
Memory, eternity, flashing before me
Put on fucking trial
My life it is a waste, haven’t fucked me in a while
Could it be you miss the taste?
Beast of Burden, why do you burden me?
The clouds have cleared, but still I can not see
That he should fail and fall from grace
Remembrance bound
And trampled by hate
Distracted by wealth
He thinks he’s safe
Of no concern with much disdain
A somber soliloquy
Into foresight
Remnants of misery
Concealed out of spite
An unseen delivery
Within a lie
Hate masked as chivalry
Skillful yet hesitant
Contempt reigns again
From this beast you cannot hide
Destruction, mutilation, eating your insides
Intent on destruction and your demise
The beast of burden will never die
Try all you want you will meet your doom
