The Ringbearer’s Burden

Verse 1 The road is broken, black and torn, Every step a crown of thorns, Shadows bite, the silence screams, The mountain burns inside the dream. Verse 2 A weight no man could ever hold, A fire forged in days of old, The smallest hands, the weary eyes, Still carry hope through endless nights. Chorus Carry on, though the fire burns, Carry on, though there’s no return, Through the shadow, through the flame, The world is saved by the smallest name. Verse 3 Betrayal hides in hunger’s grin, The crawling guide, the twisted sin, Yet still they climb, though hearts may fail, A light remains, a fragile trail. Verse 4 When all is lost, the end is near, One final spark destroys the fear, The fire swallows lies and kings, And breaks the hold of the one ring. Chorus Carry on, though the fire burns, Carry on, though there’s no return, Through the shadow, through the flame, The world is saved by the smallest name. Bridge One more step, the mountain cries, One more breath before it dies, The crown of power cannot stay, The hand of fate will throw it away. Chorus (roaring) Carry on, though the fire burns, Carry on, though there’s no return, Through the shadow, through the flame, The world is saved by the smallest name. Outro Burden lifted, the fire sings, The world is free from the weight of the ring.
