Break the Weight

Lyrics

[Intro] [Instrumental: hard-slam downtuned riff] [Verse 1] Iron teeth bite through the buried stone A furnace wakes beneath the bone The old foundations split and slide No shelter left on either side [Chorus] Break the weight, bring the whole wall down Cut the chain, take the ground Break the weight, let the ruin roar One last blow—and nothing more [Verse 2] Black earth rolls in a grinding wave The nameless rise from the open grave Each buried bell begins to pound As shattered towers hit the ground [Middle] [Instrumental: faster tremolo runs, abrupt stop-start hits] [Verse 3] No crown survives the pressure here No voice can hold against the shear The final gate gives way at last The present burns; the die is cast [Final Chorus] Break the weight, bring the whole wall down Cut the chain, take the ground Break the weight, let the ruin roar One last blow—and nothing more [Outro] [Instrumental: brutal downtuned outro riff]
