Whispered - One Man's Burden lyrics

Stained he feels, as the day turns to night The man once strong, feared and bold, now just tired, weak and old Past is haunting his trail to the end The walls laugh at his grief, the wraiths of past haunt him so deep He writes the words of regret For every victim of his blade, for every selfish act of hate Hours of terror, the screams of the innocent Murders unordered, will follow him to the grave Last days of this man unforgiven His heart starts to understand Honoring the dead is to live again But the one mans burden remains Heavens wear black, his mind won't rest The water he drinks runs rotten, the eyes of the other impale him Left alone in the end! Darkness surrounds him To end his life as a warrior, he reaches the sword he used to hold Last days of this man unforgiven His heart start to understand To honour the dead is to die aswell Will the one man's burden still remain In d**h? Confused soul, The moment for final blow The steal grows cold in the old mans hands, his thoughts are a raving storm
