Great Weight

Great weight has lifted
Great weight is gone
Great waves of wonder are coming on
The clouds are parted
The sky is clear
The sun is grinning from ear to ear
No rolling thunder
No gathering storms
We've been sitting in the dark for too long

A great weight has lifted
Great weight is gone

Great tongues have spoken hard lessons learned
The spell is broken
The tables have turnеd
Nobody's falling through the cracks
Nobody's breathing all down my back
No fiery furnacе
No tolling bells
No more wandering around the nine circles of hell

Great weight has lifted
Great weight is gone

Any way the wind blows
Any way the wind blows
Any way the wind blows now
I will roam

New moons are rising
Great towers fell
We're drawing water up from the well
The fields are blooming
The seeds are sown
The gods, alighting back on their thrones
And in their absence, didn't we do well?
They decided they would leave us fend for ourselves

Great weight has lifted
Great weight is gone

The storms are broken
The coast is clear
The sands have shifted nobody's near
You had your chance, but your chance is blown
Tyrants go tumbling
It's just how it goes
Their mighty empire gone up in smoke
Well, fuck them if they can't take a joke

A great weight has lifted
Great weight is gone

Any way the wind blows
Any way the wind blows
Any way the wind blows now
Any way my love goes
Every way the wind blows
Any road I wanna go down
I will roam
I will roam
Over land, over sea, over foam

Go circle the wagons
Tell me, who can we trust?
We've been out on the margins
We've been left in the dust
We waited in silence
We saw what we saw
It's holy murder in the name of the law
We ruminated
We watched them divide
Now every time I raise my head, I'm made to take a side

A great weight has lifted
Great weight is gone
Great weight is gone
Great weight is gone, gone, gone, gone
Great weight is gone, gone, gone, gone
