My Burden

On my back a burden I shall bare

The wounds across my body

Like rivers cutting through land

All to carry a prophecy

I had neither asked for nor cared about

To please a god

I had neither known nor spoken about

A hundred scars for every soul I claim

Isn't quite fair when you're the only one around

To take the blame
