|
Carved out of stone, earth, blood and bone |
|
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 |
|
They wander ridges high |
|
Between the earth and sky |
|
Like spikes upon a crown we wear upon our brow |
|
And want is not a need reserved for human beings |
|
It's fingers on your throat |
|
Is pain that all things know |
|
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 |
|
Just what words should come out? but |
|
"we wish we were dead" |
