Heavy Is the Heart - Striker

So who's left standing? Fallen icons feeble and abandoned Deities that stood so tall No longer looking down on us all Such a fall from grace Now lying in ruin completely disgraced Count your blessings you lasted this long It's a bitter sweet swan song Heavy is the crown No one there to save you now No one No one at all And look how far you've yet to fall Maybe you'll lament But you can't climb back from this descent You stole a part of us That we can never replace No apologies No more chances Damage is done, now serve your sentence The signs were there But we buried our heads Hard to ignore but harder to reject So hang your head in shame You're fading, fading Heavy is the crown No one there to save you now No one No one at all And look how far you've yet to fall Maybe you'll lament But you can't climb back from this descent You stole a part of us That we could never protect What will become of those broken memories? You shattered the hearts of oh so many. Go! Who is the face that awaits in the mirror? Do you cower in despair? If my heroes aren't dead already Then the rest are dead to me Heavy is the crown No one there to save you now No one No one at all And look how far you've yet to fall Maybe you'll lament But you can't climb back from this descent You stole a part of us That we can never replace Heavy lies the crown

I felt I was spinning my wheels Before too long the road was calling I packed everything I own So sure that I was leaving this small town life behind for good And not a single tear was falling It took leaving for me to understand Sometimes your dreams just aren't what life has planned Mama said home is where the heart is When I left that town I made it all the way to West Virginia And that's where my heart found Exactly where I'm supposed to be It didn't take much time It's just south of the Mason Dixon line It's just south of the Mason Dixon line I worked third shift at an all-night diner Only stayed to save a little money for Enough gas to make it to the East Coast That's when I saw the brightest pair of Deep blue eyes walking straight into my life And every night we talked 'til it became so clear And I could feel those dreams inside shifting gears 'Cause love brought me here Mama said home is where the heart is When I left that town I made it all the way to West Virginia And that's where my heart found Exactly where I'm supposed to be It didn't take much time It's just south of the Mason Dixon line It's just south of the Mason Dixon line And I'm standing in my veil about to say I do As mama smiles with tear drops in her eyes And then I realize there's something mama always knew Love is what I really left to find She said home is where the heart is When I left that town I made it all the way to West Virginia And that's where my heart found Exactly where I'm supposed to be It didn't take much time It's just south of the Mason Dixon line It's just south of the Mason Dixon line Mama said home is where the heart is It's just south of the Mason Dixon line Mama said home is where the heart is It's just south of the Mason Dixon line

You know, there's an old saying That's been around quite some time If I can remember it says, "You can take the boy out of the country But you sure can't take the country out of the boy" Now, I might be broke As a matter of fact, I am, ain't got a crying dime to my name But I got a good girl that sits close by my side That's what I'm tellin' y'all I could never be happy on a hill With a whole lot of money, girl It just don't feel like it did with you In a little old shack, girl Way down home across the railroad tracks Take me home (take me home) Sweet home (sweet home) That's where my heart is (that's where my heart is) Oh, I want to go home (sweet home) Sweet home (sweet home) That's where my heart is (that's where my heart is) Some folks groove on big Cadillacs Fancy clothes and stuff like that I was perfectly happy as I can be But she'd play, and my cheatin' way Take me home (take me home) Sweet home (sweet home) That's where my heart is (that's where my heart is) Oh, I want to go home (sweet home) Sweet home (sweet home) That's where my heart is (that's where my heart is) Yeah, yeah, yeah Ooh baby Might not never become a millionaire But long as I got you honey, I don't care I might be down and out, got holes in my shoes But I still feel as rich as Howard Hughes Take me home, huh, to me that says a whole lot No, I want to go home I wonder if you ever felt like that Felt like you was all by your self and had no one to talk to Have you ever felt like that?

I can't believe what I saw that night And I still don't think I do Strange lights are moving through the sky Is this a dream is this the end I can see The phoenix lights Fly through the sky Tell me why give me a reason Or is it all just smoke and mirrors And I know what I saw you can't tell me I'm crazy The truth is out there I believe You've got to set me free
