9. Hand of Stone (3:30)
No one sees
the difference in the land,
where the sky meets earth.
Form horizons!
Hand of stone,
arm of strength.
Nature's fire,
fist of gold.
Venom stains the lips
and burns the tongue
with vengeance and hatred.
Extremities forged
in nature's fire,
unrelenting vigor.
Carve the future!
Feast or famine,
drink deception.
The wells run dry,
the need for temptation.
Falling through brain field,
head for divide.
The hand matches,
the hand that leads the way,
to kill the shepherd,
just to see his face.
Heed the warning,
ingest the rotten bone.
The hand that falters,
the hand that turns to stone.
Chew on the root
that gives us sight.
Cranium shatters!
Feed the needles
as they fall.
The truth, the mask,
brain divided.
the difference in the land,
where the sky meets earth.
Form horizons!
Hand of stone,
arm of strength.
Nature's fire,
fist of gold.
Venom stains the lips
and burns the tongue
with vengeance and hatred.
Extremities forged
in nature's fire,
unrelenting vigor.
Carve the future!
Feast or famine,
drink deception.
The wells run dry,
the need for temptation.
Falling through brain field,
head for divide.
The hand matches,
the hand that leads the way,
to kill the shepherd,
just to see his face.
Heed the warning,
ingest the rotten bone.
The hand that falters,
the hand that turns to stone.
Chew on the root
that gives us sight.
Cranium shatters!
Feed the needles
as they fall.
The truth, the mask,
brain divided.
