Burden of Tomorrow - The Tallest Man On Earth

Oh I was sent to find the lonesome place

Where I was lost but left to trace

By carving riddles on the lonesome vine.

Oh but rumor has it that I wasn’t born,

I just walked in one frosty morn.

Into the vision of some vacant mind.

Oh once I held a pony by its flying mane,

And once I called the shadow in the turning game

But I will fight this stranger that you should fear

So I won’t be a burden of tomorrow dear

Aww Xavier’s on the border of the sun

Swings on the chambers of your guns.

And tries to shoot the chord and light the path.

Aww but hell I’m just a blind man on the plains,

I drink my water when it rains,

And live by chance among the lightning strikes.

Oh once I held a glacier to an open flame

And once I felt like wildcat in the fallen game.

But I will fight this stranger that you should fear

So I won’t be a burden of tomorrow dear.

Oh the singers on the edge to feed the canyons mouth

They will go on forever til they sing you out of time.

But I will fight this stranger that you should fear

So I won’t be a burden of tomorrow dear.
