Beast of Burden by Heliod Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The elders keep on counting their creases
Everyone just judges as he pleases
I’d like to leave but what lasts is
That no one sees, hears and speaks
Burned soil, dead trees and rusted rails
A mule that cannot carry it’s freight
Three people riding it won’t last long
They can’t just buy a new one
[Chorus 1]
The mule plods on and on
No one knows for how long, how long
The mule plods on and on
No one knows for how long, how long
[Verse 2]
They’ve strapped themselves onto its back
And try to keep it right on its track
Their beast of burden is going to cost
Without, the three men; they are lost
Oh, they are lost
[Chorus 2]
The mule plods on and on
No one knows for how long, how long
The mule plods on and on
No one knows for how long, how long
The elders keep on counting their creases
Everyone just judges as he pleases
I’d like to leave but what lasts is
That no one sees, hears and speaks
Burned soil, dead trees and rusted rails
A mule that cannot carry it’s freight
Three people riding it won’t last long
They can’t just buy a new one
[Chorus 1]
The mule plods on and on
No one knows for how long, how long
The mule plods on and on
No one knows for how long, how long
[Verse 2]
They’ve strapped themselves onto its back
And try to keep it right on its track
Their beast of burden is going to cost
Without, the three men; they are lost
Oh, they are lost
[Chorus 2]
The mule plods on and on
No one knows for how long, how long
The mule plods on and on
No one knows for how long, how long
