Where Fallen Stones Lie

A stone
Carves a trench in the loam
As it rolls down the hillside
It lies
Above the rocks on the ground
And it feels so high to be on their bones it don't know it's fallen down

It wanted to rise above it
It wanted to rise above it
Where is it now

A role
Remains unplayed
It falls by the wayside
It hides
By a river bed
But you don't see that the waters rising up above your head

You thought you would rise above it
You said you would rise above it
How could you have known
We thought you could rise above it
We thought you could rise above it
We were wrong

With the sight of a thousand years
And the sum of its rains and its fires
All clues should be left behind
But all will be pieced back together in time

You worked your life to be a stone
You didn't know
The culling from sacrifice
Defeated once
It feeds off the sorrow
The tragedy is what you loved
The pieces are breaking apart
In your hands
We are ruins
