| The burden of sin weighs on my heart
|
| Abandoned and scarred, it ripped you apart
|
| Your truth was left unknown
|
| I kneel before the altar
|
| And pray my soul to stay
|
| Besieged and buttressed by my
|
| Seething inside my body
|
| The tortured role it played
|
| Kept secrets of our father
|
| You carried this burden alone
|
| Your truth and pain, now my own
|
| Why?
|
| And when you shared with open arms
|
| Your pain inflicted youth
|
| I, by not knowing, by closing my eyes
|
| Bear the weight of the lie and it kills me inside
|
| I will carry your name |
