Burden of Tomorrow

Oh, I was sent to find the lonesome place

Where I was lost but left a 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

Oh, 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

Oh, 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 canyon's 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

Oh, oh the singers on the edge to feed the canyon's 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
