Stonebreaker

The surface is broken In labored strikes by shaking hands Stones are split and roots are burned Power is sought in emptiness Rending life to build a throne For worms coiled within us Terror breaks the skull Blades shall pierce the mind Banners are raised and weapons are forged In greed and hate, numbness and faith As generations circle the sinkholes of time Throne by throne crumbles to nothing Stone by stone Does this edifice rise? To sunder the earth and black out the sky We grasp upwards, sinking faster Bone by bone Dust for the brick and blood for the mortar Bound to towers that rise To stand in witness as the world dies
