When death is your horizon
And the life within you fades
Your sharp tongue carves your destruction
From the memories that you've made
A cavalcade
Time alone can heal nothing
This line only ravished by the grade
Your constant comment is a bludgeon
Your currency and trade
Retrograde
Lay down your burden
Lay down your heavy load
Every cell is a sun that's bursting
Every cry is a stone
In the road
Host your honor to a banquet
Another feast you will not eat
How can you warm yourself with a blanket
Sewn of woes instead of fleece?
Where is your peace?
Lay down your burden
Lay down your heavy load
Every cell is a sun that's bursting
Every soul is a note
In the code
