Paroles
Carved out of stone
Earth, blood, and bone
They knock the mountains down
The Earth's grating sounds
They soothe the great machines
That yearn desperately
Just to lay them down
Within her gaping mouth
More than a symbol
More than I bargained for
More than a symbol
More than I bargained for
They wander ridges high
Between the Earth and sky
Like spikes upon a crown
We wear upon our brow
And a want is not a need
Reserved for human beings
It's fingers on your throat
Is pain that all things know
More than a symbol
More than I bargained for
More than a symbol
More than I bargained for
(An army of the golems is stalking, now, the heart's lands)
(Eating all reality)
(Producing only dust and sand)
Nothing hurts them
Nothing gets under their stone skin
And when their earthen mouths will open up
And just what words will come out but
"We wish we were dead"
