Leaden Saints

(album: Escape Of The Phoenix - 2021)

Got the world on my shoulders
Feel its weight to the bone
Got the world on these shoulders
My within is bare to the soul

We are dead, senses fade
Never blamed it on the layout
To be leaden saints
We have strayed to chaos
Never knew there was a dark way in
To be heaven sent

Take this weight from my shoulders
I can't hold it much longer
If you could see what I see
Then maybe you would understand
Just a simple beholder
I just wish you were older
If you'd feel what I feel then maybe
You would lend a helping hand
But I'm on my own and I climb alone

We are dead, senses fade
Never blamed it on the layout
To be leaden saints
We have strayed to chaos
Never knew there was a dark way in
To be heaven sent

Got the world on my shoulders
Feel its weight to the bones
How do I do this alone

We are dead, senses fade
Never blamed it on the layout
To be leaden saints
We have strayed to chaos
Never knew there was a dark way in
To be heaven sent

We are dead, keys and chains
To be heaven sent, we're afraid
To repent
Never knew there was a dark way in
