Weight of the World MAG
I will not be crushed
under the weight of the world.
I will not be forsaken
to the mercy of fate and destiny.
That, you see, is my destiny.
Atlas in his hubric strength
lifts the sky on his shoulders;
I will not be so foolish to put me
before any other.
I'll hold up these walls
of the crashing world.
I won't let them fall on me.
I won't be crushed by the weight
of the world on me;
I will survive.
I will survive.
Atlas keeps the sky from
falling down on us all;
after all, there's got to be a sacrifice;
I'll be the sacrifice to the world
to save us all.
Let it not be said
Hubris killed us all, no, indeed,
It saved us instead.
I'll hold up these walls
of the breaking world.
I won't let them crash on me.
I won't be crushed by the weight
of the world on me;
I will survive.
I won't be crushed;
Won't help them break me down.
This is my destiny
I go willingly.
