Verse 1:
In the shadows of my ancient sighs,
I carry worlds beneath the endless skies.
Mountains rise and oceans roar,
Yet here I stand, burdened and sore.
Chorus:
Oh, weary Titan, should I let you fall?
Is the weight of their dreams worth it at all?
When the fires burn bright, and the skies turn gray,
Will they see the price they ask me to pay?
Verse 2:
Fingers aching, spine unbent,
What reward lies in my torment?
Words of hope drown in their cries,
As chaos reigns, humanity dies.
Chorus:
Oh, weary Titan, should I let you fall?
Is the weight of their dreams worth it at all?
When the fires burn bright, and the skies turn gray,
Will they see the price they ask me to pay?
Bridge:
Whispers of freedom call my name,
A bittersweet longing fanned into flame.
But the love for this world, though often betrayed,
Holds the promise of dreams yet to be made.
Verse 3:
With every heartbeat, I feel the strain,
Yet still I rise to bear their pain.
They falter and stumble, lost in their ways,
Yet I stand firm through the darkest of days.
Chorus:
Oh, weary Titan, should I let you fall?
Is the weight of their dreams worth it at all?
When the fires burn bright, and the skies turn gray,
Will they see the price they ask me to pay?
Outro:
So here's the question that lingers still,
Should I walk away, or bend to their will?
Atlas, should you shrug, or should you stay,
In this world of dreams that seem so far away?
