Broken Stone

He put his lips
To broken stone
And closed his eyes
He shivered 'neath the sun
His breath abandoned
His prayer unsung

As his heart was calling,
"One more stone is all."
He cried, "When did I fall?!"
Deliberate disguise, "I can't fell the pain!"
Hollow now, "Does it end this way?!"

Strong hands start to tremble
Now their turn to show
If this rose has lost its shade
Round this desert shadow
At this morning hour
Creation's dance a dream I feign

Life is a fading star
A distant, solemn act of faith
The sun will rise
The sun will rise!
And light on broken stone

My motion, walks alone this season
My spasm, men on staves in autumn

He deserts the answer
Can't discern the voice
Left on wind by hollow men
Round this desert shadow
At this morning hour
Creation's dance a dream I feign

This is the last time
I'll wake to end the day
Wait for the Bang to call me home
Upon the twilight
Descends the Kingdom's voice
Leaning close together we come home

Lips form prayers to Broken Stone
With a whimper we all come home
