Lyrics

Stones

Vaccinate my loneliness with cigarettes and wine
Then invite the ghosts inside to help me keep the time
I’m between the lines, could you meet me for a spell
We will honour the deities who keep us well

Digging hands into the earth to liberate the stones
Whisper to them secrets, let them hold it in their bones
Offer deeply, stories and your messages
We will leave behind more than words and sediment

And so, to stones, we return once more
We become the pendulum
Maiden, mother, crone

Think of all the others who have followed us this far
A path above a sea of moving mineral and ore
Oh the canyon becomes our rocky fingerprint
With the hot embrace of fire steel and flint
Dream of all the others who’ve traveled here before
Metamorphic rock and metal in our core

And so, to stones, we return once more
