Return to Stone Lyrics

Lost
On waves
Of an endless sea
Under starlit skies
It returns to me

The strength from steel
And peace from blade
The calls now warped
The mind now frayed

Still as glass
This ocean deep
These answers drowned
Abyss to keep

Gently now
That promise made
The time, the strands
Of the fates to braid

A tender glance
At a weathered face
As the summers fade
And dissolve this space

The seasons turn
The warmth behind
The light of spring
Now repaid in kind

The void, that calls
The hour, that's near
Under watchful skies
That song, so clear
The hand that weaves
The skin, and bone
It binds you now
Return to stone

Silver from the skyline
Mercury from ocean
Blackened as the remains
Ashen as the new day

Earth that lines the graveside
Waters at the high tide
Fire marks the turning
Air to fan the burning

Brighter as the light shines
Colder from the insides
Deeper as the waves break
Harsher spirit to wake

Faster for this last time
Longer hear the steel chime
Higher as the shade flies
Louder as the winds rise

Aon, Da, Tri, Ceithir

Silent cries, calling you
Ancient weights, release you
Rising now, to unfold
Whispering, let it go

The memories I cannot find
The faces of those left behind
The rage against the cruelty here
The hope gave way to hate and fear

This last farewell, a final gasp
As that cold hand, tightens its grasp
I will not bend, I will not break
Ready I stand, to face my fate

The void, that calls
The hour, that's near
Under watchful skies
That song, so clear
The hand that weaves
The skin, and bone
It binds you now
Return to stone
