Hadrian Carrying Stones Lyrics

Hadrian, oh lonely man
Take a look across the fen
Struggle in a land afar
Where yellow suns are red

Throw away your sword
Cloaked in darkness
Atop the hill
Towers your esperance
Why is life bitter still?

Hadrian, the gods have lied
Sons of eagle's gold defied
Caesar strong thy banners fall
When earth is sky

Carry stones to barren wastelands
White bleach the foams of Tyne
Legions marching
Hide your hopes
Save your life and die

From Shadow to the edge of night
We'll stand
Shadow, cloud and shade
All shall fade, all shall fade

While all shall fade in silver sand and sulphur fire
Grief is forever
Thy fortress tamed the dusk and wed the dawn
Climb its spires and
Be no more
