The Eternal - Weight Of Empathy lyrics

[Music: M. Kelson; Lyrics: M. Kelson] With sunken eyes I raise my weary head Before the sullen rising of my apathy I taste of the life that giveth to me Smothered in the growing weight of empathy Falling to my bloodied knees I scream to a god that some may claim they've seen Beneath me burns this harrowed land Cracks in this barren earth threaten to swallow me Waiting for this feeling to subside Opening my eyes, I face this empty life See this world in its slow decay Dying of a plague, mankind's insanity Reigning from the skies above Covering this land in blackened d**h and grief Where is the voice of reason? Lost in translation or just trying to ignore? And I won't ever let you see The hatred and the pain I've seen And I won't ever let you be As alone or misled, like I've been And I won't covert all your pain To bleed you dry of life again And I won't ever make you plead For your sanity on your hands and knees Don't leave me here to face the turning tide Don't leave me here to see the dawning light Don't leave me in a world that has gone numb Don't leave me here to find my way
