Disturbed - Overburdened Lyrics






[Spoken:]
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?

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

Led to nothing
Repeated in my mind
Led to nothing
If only I was born another time

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

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

Led to nothing
Repeated in my mind
Led to nothing
If only I was born another time

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?

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?

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?

    This is my favorite song by disturbed, they may be made fun of etc but this one is really good, the lyrics are awesome

  16. A.... H....

    At the beginning part of the song before the guitar starts, David sounds like Darkiplier

  17. G.... M....

    4:24 eargasm

  18. R.... ....

    I can interpret this song in many ways

  19. K.... C....

    Is there any reason why they never perform this live? it's one of my favorite tracks on the album.

    K.... C....

    Kane's Cauldron they did Back in the day but there’s only one clip of the song I could find here on YT despite the fact they have played it 30 times
    Oh yeah and that clip I mentioned doesn’t have good quality but they perform it well

  20. m.... b....

    The best all time

  21. R.... R....

    I didn't know this was an anti war song. It makes much more sense now. Bad ass song

  22. J.... R....

    Beautiful

  23. A.... T....

    I can also hear System of a Down. Reminds me of Toxicity.

  24. A.... T....

    The beginning sounds like Alice in Chains.

    Es lo mas hermoso y perfecto que es escuchado me siento identificado por el tema

  27. E.... M....

    Draiman sounds like Freddy Kreuger in this intro. Lol.

    Fun fact: The music video for the song "Stricken" on the same album was filmen in the same abandoned hospital some scenes from "A Nightmare on Elm Street" was filmed.

    Very cool and unique song. Great vocals from David, and the song shows a maturity not normally present in their music.

  36. B.... ....

    If anyone can sing like David Draiman please make yourself known because this guys voice is one of a kind.

    The DMV Song.

    M.... C....

  59. S.... K....

    fate is so unkind
    now i should've known
    blind leading the blind
    reaping what I've sown
    if it all amounts to nothing
    why, why am i standing in this line?


    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 repreval
    decades spent in strife

    led to nothing
    repeated in my mind
    led to nothing
    if only i was born another time

    hell is still overburdened
    i must stand and wait in line
    hell is still overburdened
    how have i been so determined malign?

    it's the closing of the curtain
    in the play that was my life
    countlesd chapters left unopened
    tragedies inside
    i fighting for a reason
    holy blessed homicide
    seems i committed treason
    all I've sacrificed

    (pre-chorus and chorus repeat)

    (intro lyrics repeat)

    (chorus repeats again twice)

    S.... K....

    Cancer... you shouldn't even have time to type this or copy and paste it

    S.... K....

    Although it is amazing there is one flaw, instead of I fighting for a reason it was I was fighting for a reason

  60. J.... A....

    I can't believe I forgot about this song. I listened to this way... WAY too much when this album came out. Thank you for such a great song.
