Burdened (Cover)

[Verse 1] They pulled me awake, I was dreamin' of home, Frozen in silence, driftin' alone. Stars out the window, they're strangers to me, A thousand light-years from who I used to be. [Pre chorus] Dog tags got numbers—ain't none of 'em names, Armor don’t rust, but memories stain. Out on the frontline, worlds burnin’ bright, Tired of survivin' the end every night. [Chorus] But I'm a long way from heaven, Fightin' for ghosts left behind. Promises spoken, but hope never shown, They gave me their halos, left me on my own. [Verse 2] She spoke through the static, a voice soft and blue, Said trust comes easy—but leaving does too. Rampant emotions, the system grows weak, Her silence gets louder each time she don't speak. [Pre chorus] These rings I'm carryin' ain't made outta gold, Circles of fire, tales left untold. Floodwaters risin', shadows consume, Faith ain't enough when prophets lie too. [Chorus] No rest for a soldier, a pawn in this game, Fighting these wars I can’t even explain. Scars on my armor hide worse ones below, Every hero’s forgotten once they're left alone. [Bridge] They glassed what I loved, made ash outta dreams, Fought through the flood, still haunted by screams. She's fading to fragments, I'm lost in the black, Saved all these worlds—none save me back. [Outro] So I drift between halos, trapped in their reign, Outlivin' my reasons, just armor and pain. I'll keep on fightin', 'cause peace never lands, Forever a soldier, more legend than man.
