Stones - Marko Hietala

An old crone with a face of bone

A heart of stone within a circle of stones

She told me I’d have stones in my shoes

With stones in my mouth, I kept singing the blues

My suit was torn in the emptiness of outer space

I float forever between a rock and a hard place

Stones, falling from the sky, more stones

Growing from the ground, more stones

Traveling the stars, more stones

Boring thankless lifeless

Stones, falling from the sky, more stones

Growing from the ground, more stones

Traveling the stars, more stones

Boring thankless lifeless stones

Under my feet, the cobblestones clack

Am I the butt of their constant crack?

The marble shines, the sheen won’t fade

A man can’t outlast whatever he’s made

The righteous will gather, the first stone is soon to fly

Against the old wall of stone, the blasphemer will die

Stones, falling from the sky, more stones

Growing from the ground, more stones

Traveling the stars, more stones

Boring thankless lifeless

Stones, falling from the sky, more stones

Growing from the ground, more stones

Traveling the stars, more stones

Boring thankless lifeless stones, yeah

Hey, hey, yeah

Pyramids were made, now bury your dead

In stones there’s a statement very easily read

It’ll be just you, your treasures and wives

The stones keep on sitting over your lost lives

My suit was torn in the emptiness of outer space

I float forever between a rock and a hard place

Stones, falling from the sky, more stones

Growing from the ground, more stones

Traveling the stars, more stones

Boring thankless lifeless

Stones, falling from the sky, more stones

Growing from the ground, more stones

Traveling the stars, more stones

Boring thankless lifeless stones, stones

Growing from the ground, more stones

Traveling the stars, more stones

Boring thankless lifeless stones

Oh yeah

Hey, hey

Hey, hey, yeah

Crushing wind indifference

Are bones under my stones

Voyeurs of misfortune

Are bones under my stones

Yeah, yeah
