Cross to Bear
[Verse 1]
Hail victim, raise your voice and curse this mortal chain
Lay down your tired albatross, let Heaven hear your strain
This unrelenting plague unbound, your agonizing toll
Like God himself in parallel, delusion takes you hold
[Pre-Chorus]
Recoil, I see you writhe in distress
Hell on Earth, no one ever stood for pain like this
Sing to me your plight unjust
Define it for the rest of us
No river of your tears
No sympathy will find you here
[Chorus]
Not one of you bastards has a cross to bear
Not one of you bastards has a cross to bear
[Verse 2]
You clench your fist unto the sky to sound your troubled mind
Unto the throne of sorrow's scribe, of sacrifice divine
[Pre-Chorus]
Recoil, I see you writhe in distress
Hell on Earth, no one ever stood for pain like this
Sing to me your plight unjust
Define it for the rest of us
No river of your tears
No sympathy will find you here
[Chorus]
Not one of you bastards has a cross to bear
Not one of you bastards has a cross to bear
[Bridge]
Bite your tongue, bleed unsung
Bite your tongue, bleed unsung
[Chorus]
Not one of you bastards has a cross to bear
Not one of you bastards has a cross to bear
Not one of you bastards has a cross to bear
Not one of you bastards has a cross to bear
[Instrumental Outro]
