[Verse 1]
You can roll that stone
To the top of the hill
Drag your ball and chain behind you
You can carry that weight
With an iron will
Or let the pain remain behind you
[Chorus]
Chip away the stone (Sisyphus)
Chip away the stone
Make the burden lighter
If you must roll that rock alone
Chip away the stone
Chip away the stone
Make the burden lighter
If you must roll that rock alone
[Verse 2]
You can drive those wheels
To the end of the road
You will still find the past right behind you
Try to deny
The weight of the load
Try to put the sins of the past night behind you
[Chorus]
Chip away the stone (Sisyphus)
Carve away the stone
Make a graven image
With some features of your own
Carve away the stone
Carve away the stone
Make a graven image
With some features of your own
[Bridge]
You call roll that stone
To the top of the hill
You can carry that weight
With an iron will
You can drive those wheels
To the end of the road
You can try to deny
The weight of the load
[Chorus]
Roll away the stone (Sisyphus)
If you could just move yours
I could get working on my own
Roll away the stone (Roll away the stone)
Roll away the stone (Roll away the stone)
If you could just move yours
I could get working on my own (Roll away the stone)
I could get working on my own (Roll away the stone)
Roll away the stone
