Run ~the Burden You Carry~

Don’t stop Keep on your feet Don’t know what you’re running from But you must keep moving. Perhaps you run from the shadows Yes, that must be it You run from what lies in the shadows Lurking in the deepest darkest corners of the earth You run from what cannot be explained But from whatever it is you run from I’ll run by your side. It seems like the world is moving in slow motion And its difficult to keep moving Like running in water with a heavy burden upon you Keeping you down Exhausting you Stealing your breath The sting of the cold Winters bitter bite Slowly we tread up this mountain Breaking my heart it does Seeing you this way How I wish I could take it on myself But this burden it is a burden only you can cary And soon enough Destroy. The loud silence It is killing me Not like any other silence, no It is a permanent silence The silence of death Voices stolen from the faceless riders Silenced forever Now only the wind whistles it’s “goodbyes” They ring in my ear I do not dare cry Not in front of you You do not need another burden to carry. But the silence is broken In the distance I hear a scream These cries come from you It is the faceless riders They have come to silence another soul They will steal you away I will not allow this They cannot take you away from me They cannot cut the bonds of friendship and love I look into their black hearts Until they shutter and cower into the shadows Where they shall remain. They have weakened you I can see it It is another burden on your shoulders I cannot carry them for you But I can carry you I can help I’ll keep you alive We can do this together I’ll be a light for you when the rest go out And, my dear friend, I will never fade away Together we can do this Together we can destroy the dark shadows Destroy the evil And destroy the burden that’s killing you now Fear.
