Accept - Carry the Weight

Copied!

Take the heat, stand the pressure, bearing a load beyond measure
Hold fast, and fight with fire, always walking the wire
Wake up, that's not the answer, it eats at your ilfe like a cancer
You want it all, can't fight the feeling
You'll never win 'cause the devil's dealing

Don't let it control you, It's dragging you down
Can't let them control you...

Don't carry the weight of the world on you shoulders
Carry the weight of the world all alone
Don't carry the weight of the world on you shoulders
Don't carry that weight, it will turn your heart to stone

On the news, another bombing, the feds can't stop global warming
Give now! Or children will die, more planes fall from the sky
Look out, floods and earthquakes, big corporations get tax breaks
The euro's down, and now there's brexit
The world is broke, and you can't fix it

Don't let it control you, It's dragging you down
Can't let them control you...

Don't carry the weight of the world on you shoulders
Carry the weight of the world all alone
Don't carry the weight of the world on you shoulders
Don't carry that weight, it will turn your heart to stone

There will be trails in your life, things you cannot control
There will be heartache and strife, don't let it tear out your soul

Don't carry the weight of the world on you shoulders
Carry the weight of the world all alone
Don't carry the weight of the world on you shoulders
Don't carry that weight, it will turn your heart to stone

edit bio

Accept is a German heavy metal band that was originally formed in the late 1960s in the town of Solingen. The band was initially assembled by former vocalist Udo Dirkschneider, guitarist Wolf Hoffmann, and bassist Peter Baltes. Throughout the years, Accept played a crucial role in the development of speed and thrash metal, making them an essential part of the German heavy metal scene that emerged in the early to mid-1980s.

In 1987, Udo Dirkschneider made the decision to pursue a solo career, leading the other members of Accept to support him by writing his entire solo album, which was released under the band moniker U.D.O. as "Animal House." Following a tour in late 1989, the band decided to take a break and focus on their individual projects between 1997 and 2005.

However, in May 2009, rumors of an Accept reunion began to circulate when bassist Peter Baltes revealed that he had been jamming with guitarist Wolf Hoffmann at his house in Pennsylvania. This led to the band deciding to reform, with singer Mark Tornillo joining as the new vocalist after a chance meeting during a jam session.

Accept's reunion marked a return to the metal scene, with the band reinvigorated and ready to continue creating music for their fans. With their iconic sound and energetic performances, Accept continues to be a driving force in the heavy metal genre, keeping the "Metal Heart" beating strong.
