A Gift Or A Curse Lyrics - The Crucible Of Man (something Wicked Part Ii) - Iced Earth

I feel a heavy burden 

A million souls upon me weigh 

Though I've felt uncertain 

The more revealed, I've found my way 

Am I a gift, am I a curse? 

I'm one and all of God and Earth 

And as the order guides me 

The trials beckon brutal days 

The Art of the Travelers 

The Ghost Dance and the Shifter's Way 

Am I a gift, am I a curse? 

I'm one and all of God and Earth 

At times there's doubt within me 

To ask as much of one so young 

Yet I believe in the prophecy 

And the framing that's been done 

And I know I possess the strength 

They've molded me from birth 

The catalyst of all that's planned 

Cleansing man from Earth 

Inject the venom into my veins 

Of the vile beasts of Earth 

The transformation now takes place 

The Shifter's art is learned 

The Dimension Gauntlet lies ahead 

I master every age 

I am a God that walks the Earth 

The embodiment of rage
