The Weight That Bends the

Songtext

[Verse 1] You drew a line across the quarry floor Said no one here would ask for more I watched the dust climb off the stone Then set my shoulder to the load [Pre-Chorus] Count every crack, count every scar We know exactly who we are [Chorus] We are the weight that bends the ground The iron word that holds its sound When the old walls shake and the bolts come loose We stand our ground, we choose, we choose [Verse 2] The shift bell rang against the rain Your red glove waved through windowpane One stubborn spark inside the dark Was all it took to start the work [Pre-Chorus] Count every crack, count every scar We know exactly who we are [Chorus] We are the weight that bends the ground The iron word that holds its sound When the old walls shake and the bolts come loose We stand our ground, we choose, we choose [Bridge] No crown, no borrowed name Just hands that carry through the flame If one of us should lose the way The rest will haul them through the day [Final Chorus] We are the weight that bends the ground The iron word that holds its sound When the old walls shake and the bolts come loose We stand our ground, we choose, we choose [Outro] We stand our ground We choose
