About

“Overburdened” like “Forgiven” is written with soldiers in mind.

It’s about a soldier standing in line waiting to pass through the gates of hell, and he’s in line with all these other soldiers that died in the course of battle and they’re all wondering why they got there.

-David Draiman

Overburdened Lyrics

[Intro]
Fate is so unkind
Now I should have known
Blind leading the blind
Reaping what I've sown
If it all amounts to nothing
Why then am I standing in this line?

[Verse 1]
Hell is still overburdened
I must stand and wait in line
I may never know for certain
When will be my time
How was I considered evil?
Pleasures taken in this life
Someone granted me reprieval
Decades spent in strife

[Pre-Chorus]
Led to nothing
Repeated in my mind
Led to nothing
If only I was born another time

[Chorus]
Hell is still overburdened
I must stand and wait in line
Hell is still overburdened
How have I been so determined malign?

[Verse 2]
It's the closing of the curtain
In the play that was my life
Countless chapters left unopened
Tragedies inside
I was fighting for a reason
Holy blessed homicide
Seems I have committed treason
All I've sacrificed

[Pre-Chorus]
Led to nothing
Repeated in my mind
Led to nothing
If only I was born another time

[Chorus]
Hell is still overburdened
I must stand and wait in line
Hell is still overburdened
How have I been so determined malign?
Hell is still overburdened
I must stand and wait in line
Hell is still overburdened
How have I been so determined malign?

[Bridge]
Fate is so unkind
Now I should have known
Blind leading the blind
Reaping what I've sown
If it all amounts to nothing
Why, then, am I standing in this line?

[Chorus]
Hell is still overburdened
I must stand and wait in line
Hell is still overburdened
How have I been so determined malign?
Hell is still overburdened
I must stand and wait in line
Hell is still overburdened
How have I been so determined malign?
