LYRICS:


INTRO:

What's it all mean?

The Greeks believed in polytheism, which means "many gods" like Poseidon the god of the sea and Zeus the supreme ruler.

What?

Socrates, Plato, Descartes, these people are regarded as the great thinkers of our time. Along with Nietzsche who said, "God is dead".

That don't sound right.




VERSE 1:

Lost in the insanity of what the world demands of me

Couldn't be the man I had to be, had to be a man of strategy

Too bad the plan I planned to lead landed me in tragedy

Had heard of Christianity, somehow misunderstanding the

Unique ideology, I turned to Greek Mythology

I learned to seek methodically, into a beliefs psychology

Still wondered periodically and thought about it logically

Would it make sense acknowledging, sin without apology

Well maybe I'm just sensitive, but couldn't see the sense of it

Don't think I was presented with the wisdom of the infinite

I didn't get to into, it should have been more intimate

Thank god's who share their sentiments through lightning bolts and bent vengeance

There I was so confused, thought I had been shown the rules

But when left to my own views, refused to disown my dues

I carried weight I'd known to lose, dang my shoulder bones are bruised

From holdin' up this stone it's huge, and growin' by my own abuse




HOOK 1:

I felt like Atlas

Holding the weight of the world on its axis

Bracing the bones in my back for the fractures

Hands reached, my fingertips grip mountain peaks

The pressure on my feet breaks the concrete

My lungs are hurting, my heart strains to beat

This can't be right, my soul pain is increased

I felt like Atlas




VERSE 2:

I turned to the philosophical to overcome my obstacles

Opened up my opticals to show me if it's possible

To lonely bear my cross in full without endin' in the hospital

Even though it seemed impossible, somehow I still thought it cool

To study Nietzsche and Socrates, receiving their philosophies

Believing their hypothesis, not conceiving that the cost of me

Would be so much a loss of me, saw a little bit that possibly

Could be the truth but honestly, for me the truth's for God to see

Not the Iliad or Odessy, it's silly now how obviously

My only chance of walkin' free is to walk the path the Godly lead

Back then I used to sob and grieve, not knowin' that my God's reprieve

Was the only thing I'd receive that could relieve ungodly deeds

Destiny was still unfolding, it's heavier this hill I'm holding

Hands are weak the wheel is rolling, body's weak my will is folding

I can't stand to hold this stone, pressure's about to break my bones

Collapse my spine my mind is gone, can't take this burden on my own




HOOK 2:

I felt like Atlas

Holding the weight of the world on its axis

The bones in my back break from the fractures

Hands reached, my grip slips from mountain peeks

The fall to my knees quakes the concrete

My lungs are burnin', heart's drained to one beat

This can't be right, my soul's slain, defeat

I felt like Atlas




VERSE 3:

Yeah I was like Atlas here, holdin' up the atmosphere

Drained 'till all I had was fear to drive me into madness here

I'm lost is there an atlas near, a compass and a map that's clear

I'll be lying in my casket here, if a Savior don't come grab this sphere

Father forgive me (whisper)

Right then my heavenly beholder, took the world upon His shoulders

Saved me from being taken over, I swore to become His soldier

Following His every order, becoming His inclined supporter

Of gospel in times of disorder, in a rhyme or on a corner

Learned He had died to save us from the sin that had enslaved us

He endured a pain outrageous, no other man as courageous

Miracles are down on pages, we can learn of it for ages

Freed me from the hellacious, an example of His greatness

I can march on worry free, knowing He will carry me

Showing me His charity, making me aware of the

Demons out to bury me, I'm screamin' how He's sparin' me

He died or all humanity and an afterlife of fantasy




HOOK 3:

God is my Atlas

He held the weight of the world on its axis

He healed the people of the world by the masses

Brutally nailed to the cross for eyes to see

The savior of life that He would rise to be

It's only by His grace I receive my reprieve

Because in my heart I believe He died for me

God is my Atlas
