Dead Like Stones

It feels as if standing again

In the pouring rain

As I let past's spirits gain

Control over me

And they speak so impatiently

But all I see

Is that I sacrificed myself

For nothing

May this be the last day or night

Before I fade away with a final sigh

My tired eyes have seen enough for a life

So if the time has come to leave it all behind

These wrinkled hands are not too lame

To embrace freedom again

You made me bear

All these memories alone

The void of the unborn son

The pain that you generate

Oh, God is it true that you watch

Over us all?

Did you weep or just laugh

When seeing my people fall?

Down by the river

And high up in the skies

In those deep valleys

Where their tortured bodies lie

Down by the river

And high up in the skies

In those deep valleys

Where their tortured bodies lie

Forgotten

With every monolith that falls

I feel the dying pulse

In the vein

Of my generation

But all the voices I hear

They seem so real

Can they make me believe

That you're here with me?

(That you're still with me)

Down by the river

And high up in the skies

In those bleak valleys where my

Broken bones will dry

Forgotten by all

Abandoned by man

To follow the call I'll resist

While I have the strength

As if ever thoughts could melt steel

As if prison walls were to be torn by will

As if ever time could heal the wounds

Inside

As if on the fateful paths I tread

All friends and loves I've ever had

Were still around and not lying dead

Dead like stones
