Time's Heavy Burden

Don’t forget the burden, time weighing down your shoulders

Every wasted moment, every breath that’s getting shorter

Grasping on to memories, as your hands are getting colder

And you don’t know how much longer

You can bear this heavy load

The fires of your life have turned to smoke and ash

The gentle winds of time, once slow, now are blowing fast

Take in every sunset, as if it is your last

Because you don’t know how much longer

You can bear this heavy load

The ravens of deception are cawing at your door

Their evil shrieks of madness, through your mind, they slowly bore

Until time and sanity are with you nevermore

And you know you can no longer tolerate

Such a heavy load
