Ginzan - Clay Crown Lyrics

Carrying the unwavering burden
Deep-seated roots upon my head
Strong enough to grimace and bear it
The overwhelming sensation of dread
A self appointed unavailing king
Sewing your own fate without a thread
Demands of the future are arbitrary
The past has arrived to claim her debt

I brandish the clay crown
Enveloped by the voices of rulers past
I cannot heed their conflicting warnings
I cannot face the cold black morning
Pleading with the maker
Can this blight be outlast

I beg and borrow manipulate and steal
Just to make the frayed ends meet
Perched on my throne in a burning castle
Hold your ground and take the heat
The weight of your world on my mantle
Held up in silence with conceit
A weathered mountain so you can be insipid
The fruit it bears are bittersweet

I brandish the clay crown
Enveloped by the voices of rulers past
I cannot heed their conflicting warnings
I cannot face the cold black morning
Pleading with the maker
Can this blight be outlast

The weight of the crown like the boulder of sisyphus
Bearing down on me with no sign of reprieve
Forever lucid in my own insignificance
A moments silence to deceive
The weight of the crown like the boulder of sisyphus
Bearing down on me with no sign of reprieve
Forever lucid in my own insignificance
A moments silence to deceive
The weight of the crown like the boulder of sisyphus
Bearing down on me with no sign of reprieve
Forever lucid in my own insignificance
A moments silence to deceive

I brandish the clay crown
Enveloped by the voices of rulers past
I cannot heed their conflicting warnings
I cannot face the cold black morning
Pleading with the maker
Can this blight be outlast
I brandish the clay crown
Enveloped by the voices of rulers past
I cannot heed their conflicting warnings
I cannot face the cold black morning
Pleading with the maker
Can this day be my last
