The Weight

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

For a moment

I felt the strength of your love

It was lightning, it was lightning

So strike down on me

I'm a lump of meat

With a heart beat

Electricity restarts me

So strike down on me

Every day i pray

I'm the first to go

Without you i would be lost

And i promised myself

I wouldn't talk about death

I know it's getting boring now

I'm a man

Holding the weight of your love

But without it my strength just isn't enough

So strike down on me, on me

Every day i pray

I'm the first to go

Without you i would be lost

And i promised myself

I wouldn't sing about death

I know i'm getting boring now

For a moment

I felt the weight of your love

It was lightning, it was lightning

So strike down on me
