lyrics
Forgive me father, for I have sinned in the most elegant fashion
A conspiracy smothered in passion, a flaw so tragic it’s as if he were asking for it to be exposed
Forgive me father, but with all due respect, I do not seek your approval nor do I fear your wrath
This world is a war, and your word is a weapon that’s clenched and clung to their chests
Forgive me father, and correct me if I’m wrong, but you made this world so you could watch us burn it to ash
And by thy will, my will I confess: one man’s rise from another man’s death
I’m the fatigue, I’m the weakness in their knees
I’m the inner beg and plea to buckle underneath the weight
Forgive me father if I haven’t made myself clear, but as long as hell is any different from this Earth
I can’t imagine how it could be worse than here
So out of your hands, I’ll take this world, and place it in my own instead
If you only listened to me, then this wouldn’t have to be the only option left
One man’s rise from another man’s death
I’m the fatigue, I’m the weakness in their knees
I’m the inner beg and plea to buckle underneath the weight
Just wait, they’ll all succumb
It’s the allure of a lure, it’s the taste of the bait
It’s the view from the top, not the thrill of the chase
That will make all of those who kneel loyally at your feet
Grasp the floor on which you stand and rip it out from underneath
And you’ll fall with no support, because your support now works for me
And on two broken legs you’ll try to flee
But you won’t know where to run if you don’t know who you’re running from
I’m the fatigue, I’m the weakness in their knees
I’m the inner beg and plea to buckle underneath the weight
Just wait, they’ll all succumb, my kingdom come
I’ve been dealing with this shit for way too long
I’ve been waiting for my chance to turn the tables on this world
I’ve been hearing screaming voices in my head
Singing, “Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, let it burn”
A conspiracy smothered in passion, a flaw so tragic it’s as if he were asking for it to be exposed
Forgive me father, but with all due respect, I do not seek your approval nor do I fear your wrath
This world is a war, and your word is a weapon that’s clenched and clung to their chests
Forgive me father, and correct me if I’m wrong, but you made this world so you could watch us burn it to ash
And by thy will, my will I confess: one man’s rise from another man’s death
I’m the fatigue, I’m the weakness in their knees
I’m the inner beg and plea to buckle underneath the weight
Forgive me father if I haven’t made myself clear, but as long as hell is any different from this Earth
I can’t imagine how it could be worse than here
So out of your hands, I’ll take this world, and place it in my own instead
If you only listened to me, then this wouldn’t have to be the only option left
One man’s rise from another man’s death
I’m the fatigue, I’m the weakness in their knees
I’m the inner beg and plea to buckle underneath the weight
Just wait, they’ll all succumb
It’s the allure of a lure, it’s the taste of the bait
It’s the view from the top, not the thrill of the chase
That will make all of those who kneel loyally at your feet
Grasp the floor on which you stand and rip it out from underneath
And you’ll fall with no support, because your support now works for me
And on two broken legs you’ll try to flee
But you won’t know where to run if you don’t know who you’re running from
I’m the fatigue, I’m the weakness in their knees
I’m the inner beg and plea to buckle underneath the weight
Just wait, they’ll all succumb, my kingdom come
I’ve been dealing with this shit for way too long
I’ve been waiting for my chance to turn the tables on this world
I’ve been hearing screaming voices in my head
Singing, “Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, let it burn”

about
Rope and Ladder Boston, Massachusetts
Rope and Ladder is the band and rock opera created by Jay Clark and Ryan Dolen.
The project has
been more than 10 years in the making—in that time, Jay and Ryan pieced together a narrative of epic scope steeped in intrigues of war, love, and betrayal.
The album balances delicate piano against distorted guitars, driving the palpable tension that accompanies the rising stakes of the plotline.
