2) Burden is a finnish thrash metal metal band. It was founded in autumn 2008. Sami (bass guitar/vocals) and Henkka (rhythm guitar) phoned Matias (drums) so they could form a band. Later Henkka asked Otto (lead guitar) to join the band, and he did. After they had composed some songs of their own, they practiced hard and went to the studio. A week later they released their first demo called ''Burden''. Burden got a new drummer called Tuomas during the autumn 2009. Burden released a new EP titled Thrash Invasion in the end of May.

4) Formed in the spring of 1997, by founding members Jason Kolins(vocals), Sean Spear & Mike Orpen(guitars) and Mark Thomson(bass), to put together a fast, heavy, outspoken Straight Edge Hardcore band, with a personal, sincere and positive message. Although Burden started at a time when the Hardcore scene in Vancouver was all but dead, they (along with Dissent and Reserve 34), kept the small, but dedicated scene alive for years, continually building up and strengthening the foundation, for what the now thriving Vancouver scene, is built upon today. Playing locally constantly, and throughout the NorthWest and abroad, to establish their name, Burden was the first Straight Edge band from Vancouver, to make a mark outside of their hometown. In the seven years Burden was a band, they toured throughout Western Canada, did three Western USA tours, and two European tours, sharing the stage with many great bands like Trial, Strain, Bane, Ten Yard Fight, Fastbreak, Buried Alive, Reach The Sky, Built To Last, Commited, Brothers Keeper, One King Down, Carry On, Hoods, Shutdown, Throwdown, Eighteen Visions, Embrace Today, Himsa, Spirit 84, Poison The Well, Purification, Between Us, Unconquered, Caliban, Maximum Penalty, Built To Last, Countervail, Liar, Bleed Into One, Teamkiller. Black Friday '29, Downslide, Dead Scene Stars, Congress etc... Aside from appearing on numerous compilations world wide, the band had five releases, the "Chosen Path" demo tape in '97, the "Strength Of Conviction" CD and 7" in 1999, the "Vancouver Meets Kentucky" split CD with Automatic, as well as the bands only full length "If You Don't Stand For Something, You'll Fall For Anything" (12"/CD), which was released in 2001 on Germany's Dead Serious Recordings in Europe and Spawner Records in Canada. Burdens final release was the five song 7"/CDEP "With Every Step Forward", again on Dead Serious Recordings, which corresponded with Burden's final European tour in September 2003. Burdens final show took place in the bands hometown of Vancouver, Canada, on Saturday, March 13, 2004, with Go It Alone, Dead Sure, Dead In Hollywood and In Stride. The members of Burden have went onto other projects. Adam and Dave Mitchell and Jason Kehoe, played in BLUE MONDAY full time, along with fellow ex-Burden bassist Kyle Deville. Sean Spear played guitar in ICE COLD , which also featured original Burden bassist Mark Thomson, as well as playing in a rock band called COBRA QUEEN. Other ex-mambers have gone onto some awesome bands as well. Lucas Mcfadden went onto play drums for CARRY ON and GO IT ALONE, and Aram Arslanian, who filled in on guitar for numerous shows for Burden, played in Seattle's CHAMPION and BETRAYED. Due to the fact that some members were well into their late twenties and early thirties, doubled with wives, kids, school, careers and a revolving door of members, and though they hit the road as much as possible, Burden was never able to tour constantly, as much as other bands, thus never really getting the chance to make nearly as big of an impact, outside of the Northwest and Europe. Though it's been over five years, since their final show, the Burden legacy lives on through the music, the words and the message, which, unlike many bands after their demise, their conviction still holds proud, and strong today...

5) Burden is a 3-piece DIY crossover band formed late 2008 in New Brunswick, NJ, combining elements of hardcore punk d-beat, old death metal, and thrash. They utilize extremely down-tuned instruments and play at ear-piercing volumes. Burden (NJ) has been self-releasing EP's and demos periodically every few months since their first demo "Shadows Over New Brunswick" released January 09; some of the releases include Speedcrush, Atomic Purple, The First Seven Months (comp), and The Hits. This band is unconcerned with profit or spreading their name past word of mouth, as a result, all distribution of their material is somewhat limited.
6) Burden is an ever changing lineup with two main members: Cal Beaney and Simon Doling (of Terminal Cheesecake). They create drone-based music in EAI, folk, metal and noise. To listen see burdendrone.bandcamp.com

The Fool
Burden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Worthy of fear
But as a child with four second futures, I never dreamed
That you would take me to a place that?s quite like here
Say my brother, to think that I embraced in you
Say my lover, to think I thought of you my true
How do I look now, what would you have me do?
Say my lord, bring me the head of my youth
So I can go on loving as you would have me
I won't let my rival feel the joy
I can see it all so clear
I saw the flames, feeding a poisonous strength
Worthy of fear
I am no fool, who did you think you?re talking to?
My silly little one
Betray me with a kiss, who did you think your messing...
My silly little one
Tell me I am sleeping and this is a dream
So I can go on loving as you would have me
I won't let my rival feel the joy
I can't see it all so clear
I saw the flames, feeding a poisonous strength
Worthy of fear
Say my brother, I sing a thousand thanks for you
Say my lover, what I see if you only knew
How do I look now, what would you have me do?
Say my lord, you brought me the body of truth
The song "The Fool" by Burden speaks to the pain of betrayal in a relationship. The singer, who seems to be addressing their former lover, talks about the flames of anger and hurt feeding a "poisonous strength" that is "worthy of fear." The singer had never thought that their relationship could become so toxic and harmful, but they now find themselves in a dark and dangerous place.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Tell me I am sleeping and this is a dream, so I can go on loving as you would have me." The singer is grappling with the reality of their situation and wishes it could be different, that they could go back to the way things were before the betrayal. They refuse to let their rival feel the joy of having taken what was once theirs, and they see the situation all too clearly.
The final verse of the song seems to offer some resolution, with the singer thanking their brother and their lover, and asking their lord for the "body of truth." Perhaps the singer has come to an understanding of the situation and is ready to move on. Overall, the lyrics of "The Fool" are a powerful meditation on the pain of betrayal and the struggle to come to terms with it.
Line by Line Meaning
I saw the flames, feeding a poisonous strength
I witnessed a dangerous influence that gave power to something that can harm others
Worthy of fear
It deserves attention and caution
But as a child with four second futures, I never dreamed
As a naive person who couldn't predict the consequences of their actions, I could not have imagined this outcome
That you would take me to a place that's quite like here
I did not expect you to lead me into a situation that's similar to this one
Say my brother, to think that I embraced in you
Brother, I trusted you completely
Say my lover, to think I thought of you my true
My dear lover, I believed you were my soulmate
How do I look now, what would you have me do?
How should I act now that I know the truth?
Say my lord, bring me the head of my youth
Dear God, help me get rid of my past mistakes
Tell me I am sleeping and this is a dream
I wish this wasn't real, that it was just a figment of my imagination
So I can go on loving as you would have me
I hope to continue to love without these obstacles preventing me from doing so
I won't let my rival feel the joy
I won't let someone who is against me have the upper hand or pleasure in my downfall
I can see it all so clear
I understand the situation fully now and how it will affect me
I am no fool, who did you think you're talking to?
I am not easily deceived, who do you think I am?
My silly little one
A condescending nickname for someone who thought they were clever
Betray me with a kiss, who did you think you're messing...
How dare you trick me with an act of love, who do you think you're fooling?
Say my brother, I sing a thousand thanks for you
Brother, I am grateful to you from the bottom of my heart
Say my lover, what I see if you only knew
My dearest, if only you could see the truth about our situation
Say my lord, you brought me the body of truth
Thank you, God, for showing me the reality of my situation
