lirik lagu martyn joseph - weight of the world (2008)
[verse 1]
the weight of the world
keeps us nervous at night
locks up the light
makes our efforts seem slight
and the weight of the world
is pressing us down
it’s buckled your crown
and it’s watchin’ you drown
[verse 2]
the weight of the world
that gouges the land
and shrivels the sand
praises the bland
the weight of the world
that frenzies our fears
when hope disappears
we start sharpening spears
[chorus]
is this paradise or prison?
’cause that verdict is unclear
we’ve asked virtue to defеnd us
but she’s got a new career
sellin’ thе pills that make us grateful
and the time~shares for our soul
she says, “anyone can stay here
’cause no one’s in control”
[verse 3]
the weight of the world
brings ominous dawns
serves a breakfast of th~rns
on funeral yawns
the weight of the world
plots the hero’s defeat
mocks the quiet and discreet
the blameless and the sweet
[verse 4]
the weight of the world
demands nothing is saved
we end up enslaved
to the glib and depraved
the weight of the world
likes to treasure despair
says beyond is not there
no celestial stair (oh, yeah)
[chorus]
so is this paradise or prison?
’cause that verdict is unclear
we’ve asked virtue to defend us
but she’s got a new career
sellin’ the pills that make us grateful
and the time~shares for our soul
she says, “anyone can stay here
’cause no one’s in control”
[guitar solo]
[verse 5]
but the world where we wait
is a temporary base
it’s a chorus of grace
it’s a beautiful place
and the world where we wait
all our burdens are brief
and these black ties of grief
we soon leave beneath
[verse 6]
and the world where we wait
has miraculous powers
plenty of hours
and oceans of flowers
the world where we wait
is a brief legacy
a quiet prophecy
of our near liberty
[chorus]
so is this paradise or prison?
’cause that verdict is unclear
we’ve asked virtue to defend us
but she’s got a new career
sellin’ the pills that make us grateful
and those time~shares for our soul
she says, “anyone can stay here
no one’s in control”
sellin’ the pills that make us grateful
and time~shares for our soul
she says, “anyone can stay here
no one’s in control”
[outro]
it’s the weight of the world
yes, ah
