lyrics

What's the punishment for refusing your birthright?
You can ask me
Once I forfeit mine
You might recognize
Your own failure in hindsight
But the sentence doesn't suit the crime

'Cos the weight of your mantle
Is as light as you make it
But it don't have a will of its own
You can deny your legacy
Find the strength to forsake it
Or pass it on

What's the punishment for refusing your birthright?
Well, it's funny that you should ask
You can’t bear the evidence
So you opt for the gaslight
Coaxing confessions ain’t an easy task

It's as light as you make it
It takes courage to break it
But I don't have to take it for my own

So I'm giving up my inheritance
