    Weight of The World (Shayfer James)

    Uploaded by

    Katy Bradley
    The poem describes various sinister acts committed by people struggling to survive under the weight of the world, including leaving a man to die after he sang for them, killing a woman who was waiting to paint their portraits, and collecting loans from the long forgotten. It suggests that people must do whatever it takes to get by and stay alive, and that the weak and weary will not survive under the weight of the world.

    Weight Of the World [Shayfer James]

    The last man standing in our sinister charade


    Beneath the crumbling arches of our counterfeit arcade
    He nobly knelt before us, he sang our saviour's chorus
    We left him spinning bloody plates upon his broken blade
    But that's just the weight of the world, we do what we must to get by
    That's just the weight of the world
    The weak and the weary will never survive
    That's just the weight of the world, we do what we must to stay alive
    That's just the weight of the world
    We'll all be the weak and the weary some time
    One woman whistling a wounded lullaby
    And preaching pain to every unsuspecting passer-by
    We knew her well before this, she promised portraits of us
    We cut her throat while she waiting for the paint to dry
    That's just the weight of the world, we do what we must to get by
    That's just the weight of the world
    The weak and the weary will never survive
    That's just the weight of the world, we do what we must to stay alive
    That's just the weight of the world
    We'll all be the weak and the weary some time
    And in the distance we'll hear melancholy moans
    The long forgotten have a habit for collecting loans
    But that's just the weight of the world, we do what we must to get by
    That's just the weight of the world
    The weak and the weary will never survive
    That's just the weight of the world, we do what we must to stay alive
    That's just the weight of the world
    We'll all be the weak and the weary some time
    That's just the weight of the world, we do what we must to get by
    That's just the weight of the world
    The weak and the weary will never survive
    That's just the weight of the world, we do what we must to stay alive
    That's just the weight of the world
    We'll all be the weak and the weary some time
