Carry the Cross
Embracing the Weight of Existence: Arch Enemy's 'Carry the Cross'
Lyrics
We walk through the ages
We navigate through the course of history
The world on our shoulders
Bearing the weight of the world
The burden we carry
The heavy responsibility we endure
To the dark end of our days
Towards the grim conclusion of our existence
A thousand eyes watching
A multitude of observers scrutinizing
Every step we are taking
Every move we make
Waiting to see us
Awaiting to witness our struggles
Struggle and fall
Anticipating our failures
And when we are beaten
When we are defeated
The cross holds us down
The symbolic cross keeps us subdued
I hear them laughing
I perceive the mockery
And walking away
As they depart, leaving us behind
Carry the Cross
Carrying the burden of responsibility
And suffer the loss
Enduring the pain and setbacks
Hear my confession
Confessing my struggles
Forever damnation
Facing eternal condemnation
Reincarnation
Rebirth into a new life
Bleeding forever
Continuously bleeding, enduring suffering
Recover the pain
Reclaiming the agony
Pain gives me strength
Pain becomes a source of strength
Pick up the cross
Lifting the symbolic cross
And carry it on
Bearing it onward
Over and over
Repeatedly, in a cyclical pattern
The wheel turns again
The cycle of life continues
And when we are beaten
When we are overcome
The cross holds us down
The cross remains a burden
Ihear them laughing
I hear derisive laughter
And walking Away
As they move away from our struggles
Carry the cross
Continuing to bear the symbolic cross
And suffer the loss
Enduring the pain and setbacks
Hermy confession
Confessing my struggles once again
Forever damnation
Facing eternal condemnation persistently
