|
Guarding the carcass, stripped and divided |
|
To carve up and covet they wait there alone |
|
Keeping the secret, rest have forgotten |
|
Staring in silence from sockets of stone |
|
Built and obeyed with the best of intentions |
|
Stranger than truth and as lost and alone |
|
Stranded like dogs in a star-spangled manger |
|
No good to nothing not even their own |
|
Holy-O-my God, I can't see the stars in the sky |
|
For the sun in my eye |
|
She's like a dream that a world quit believin' |
|
Caught in the action back to the sea |
|
How many more might have come from that mountain? |
|
Barely the creatures they struggled to be |
|
Surely the death of so grand an illusion |
|
Left us with legends too great to ignore |
|
Stone-cut survivors of ancient dimensions |
|
Lost in the wonder they came to explore |
|
Holy star light far brighter than the sun in your eye |
|
Singing thy will be done |
|
Holy star light far brighter than the sun in your eye |
|
Singing thy will be done |
