I defy the height of the world In spite of the weight of my cross Inspire myself, a fire-and-brimstone sermon At a loss under Atlas' burden
Holding the globe like a damaged icon My bones can't bear the load piling on Comes a cropper. Ill at ease ever after
Mercy in chains The plot is thickening, things changed in a way The chances are sickening, evolution in a day
Does it matter how it ends when cards were dealt by hostile hands? Endurance is the fancy that nothing is everlasting
The open sky unsettled by thunder Killed in a crash like a bolt from the blue The burden, concealed and playful, grows anew
Enemy mine... hate is the only enemy Axis powers recede The still point of the turning world stands still indeed Things changed in a way, evolution in a day
