Atlas Bound
(ahhhh) They carved the sentence in the stone
Left him standing on the peak alone
Two shoulders for a heavy sky
He wasn't allowed to ask them why
They forged the chains of gravity and light
To hold the ceiling through the longest night
Underneath the weight of stars
Far away from mortal wars (far away,
far away) He holds the dome,
he bears the crown
They made a deal to keep him down
The council gathered on the golden hill
They watched his pride begin to spill
A quiet trap of endless blue
No shield to let the starlight through
He caught the curve,
he took the strain
A monumental, silent pain
No thunder, no fire
(no fire) Just an endless horizon
And a heavy empire
Underneath the weight of stars
Far away from mortal wars
(far away, far
away) He holds the dome,
he bears the crown
They made a deal to keep him down
Still holding up the sky...
(still holding...)
