And the Stone Said; If I Could Speak
I was alone and it was nightI had nobody else to turn tobut the voices talking to me from afarand with endearing words so silentthey told me the secret about who you really areA million images and words, long since forgotten,of events that no one ever sawI hear a whimper as I kneel,realizing that it's your pain that I feel"In this house of worship I'm a stone"And as I wandered through the nightI felt a presence of the past, the futureand the present nowThe voices placed me in the mindsof two young lovers,the husband in the war who's never coming home,the young girl realizing she's in fact a boyand the old man recollecting his first toy,the widow, the rapist, a gold digger, the heroand at last the voice I heard before"In this house of worship I'm a stone""But there's blood gushing out of the cracks and fissuressplit me in two and I'm hollow insideYou can't make me feel their sorrowLetras de cancionesDid you think that the earth could cry?"I was alone and it was night"But there's blood gushing out of the cracks and fissuressplit me in two and I'm hollow insideYou can't make me feel their sorrowDid you think that the earth could cry?"In the dark a mist of lightleading down into its bowelsAnd I walk the spiral staircaseas the mist slowly dissolvesA wooden banister, a bridgeand a vast stone wall up aheadI cross the bridge and hear the voicesand they're speaking of the dead"In moments of hallucinated powerYou thought that you had us stalledBut ours are tears of liquid firewatch us cry a river over you""To comprehend me,you can think of this place as my home.From here I've seen it all,throughout time I've watched your mistakes...""But there's blood gushing out of the cracks and fissuressplit me in two and I'm hollow insideYou can't make me feel their sorrowDid you think that the earth could cry?""To comprehend meyou can think of what I have gone throughI've aided dirty handswhen they've stoned defenseless innocents""I am every stone on earth,everything is recorded in meBut I'm not to interfereJust continue to act as if I'm not hereI don't care for love or hateAnd I know there is no such thing as fateNo greater power will punish your mistakesYour acts are out of your own, out of your own,out of your own free will""I was here before youand I'll still be here when you're gone,I'll still be here when your gone..."
