Defeater - Carrying Weight lyrics

That soap box song stuck in his head
Burdens lie in graves past by
He carries his weight
That anthem for the disenchanted rings
Loud in waves of grain
Heavy hearted hymns heard in slums
Fade out on those country roads
Hope burning in his lungs

Days pass, weeks pass sleeping under sky
Days pass, weeks pass days turn into nights
Sleep sound, the sun's out
Sleep long, sleep well days pass, weeks pass
Memories come flooding back
He prays his mother's god has saved her soul
That soap box song still in his head

Miles lost to heat and rain
He carries his weight
That message for the misdirected rings
True to this day
Heavy hearted hymns sung in fields
He stops along that country road
To listen as they sing

"Swing low, swing low chariot for me
Swing low, swing low, pray my soul to keep
Rest now, the sun's down
Rest long, rest well" "Swing low, swing low"
Redemption lies in an old farm house
"Room and board for the strong hands we need"

"All I can offer, roof over head
Another day, another dollar
All I can offer, roof over head
Another day, another dollar
Another day, another dollar"
