I once believed the walls were safe
Dreamed of skies we were meant to chase
Never knew what the truth would cost
Till the day everything was lost
When the thunder filled up my bones
All the fear turned my heart to stone
And the fire in my chest began
Burning bright for a broken land
And now I feel the ground below
Shaking hard as the titans go
Hear the footsteps echo far and wide
Freedom marching at my side
Once I swore I'd protect them all
Now I answer a darker call
Just a boy with a burden crowned
Guiding forth the rumbling on the ground
I watched my friends grow strong and brave
Still unsure what I had to save
Visions showing the end of time
Every path leading back to mine
All the futures inside my head
Painted worlds full of dust and dread
And the truth that I can't outrun
If not me, then it can't be done
And now I feel the ground below
Shaking hard as the titans go
Hear the footsteps echo far and wide
Freedom marching at my side
Once I swore I'd protect them all
Now I answer a darker call
Just a boy with a burden crowned
Guiding forth the rumbling on the ground
I can hear the voices plead
Asking why I must lead this deed
But the chains of the past still hold
And the price of the truth is cold
If tomorrow fades away
Tell them I tried to change the way
Every choice that I ever made
Brought me to this final day
And now I feel the ground below
Shaking hard as the titans go
Hear the footsteps echo far and wide
Freedom marching at my side
Once I fought for a peaceful dawn
Now I'm feared as I carry on
Just a boy with a burden crowned
Standing at the heart of all the rumbling on the ground
