In the dead of the night
While the city sleeps sound
There's a weight on my shoulders
Pulling me to the ground

But who is my anchor
When the dark tide pulls in?
Who wears this iron armour
So I can breathe in my skin?

And I cannot yield
And I cannot fail
This burden of strength
Leaves me gasping and frail

And I cannot yield
And I cannot fail
This burden of strength
Leaves me gasping and frail

'Cause I am the pillar
The stone that won't fall
The unseen defiance, the unheard call
Perhaps it's the toll for a life given away

And I cannot yield
And I cannot fail
This burden of strength
Leaves me gasping and frail

And I cannot yield
And I cannot fail
This burden of strength
Leaves me gasping and frail

'Cause I am the pillar
The harbour and the cross
Who saves the saviour when the walls cave in?
When the walls cave in?
