"Stones" lyrics - MARCO HIETALA

MARCO HIETALA
"Stones"

An old crown with a face of bone
A heart of stone within a circle of stones
She told me I'd have stones in my shoes
With stones in my mouth I kept singing the blues

[Pre-Chorus:]
My suit was torn
In the emptiness of outer space
I float forever between a rock and a hard place

[Chorus:]
Stones! Falling from the sky
More stones! Growing from the ground
More stones! Traveling the stars
More stones! Boring, thankless, lifeless
Stones! Falling from the sky
More stones! Growing from the ground
More stones! Traveling the stars
More stones! Boring, thankless, lifeless
Stones...

Under my feet the cobblestones clack
Am I the butt of their constant crack?
The marble shines, the sheen won't fade
A man can't outlast whatever he's made!

The righteous will gather
The first stone is soon to fly
Against the old wall of stone
The blasphemer will die

[Chorus:]
Stones! Falling from the sky
More stones! Growing from the ground
More stones! Traveling the stars
More stones! Boring, thankless, lifeless
Stones! Falling from the sky
More stones! Growing from the ground
More stones! Traveling the stars
More stones! Boring, thankless, lifeless
Stones! Yeah!

[Bridge:]
Pyramids were made, now bury your dead
In stones there's a statement very easily read
It'll be just you, your treasures and wives
The stones keep on sitting over your lost lives

[Pre-Chorus:]
My suit was torn
In the emptiness of outer space
I float forever between a rock and a hard place

[Chorus:]
Stones! Falling from the sky
More stones! Growing from the ground
More stones! Traveling the stars
More stones! Boring, thankless, lifeless
Stones! Falling from the sky
More stones! Growing from the ground
More stones! Traveling the stars
More stones! Boring, thankless, lifeless
Stones!

[Chorus:]
Stones! Growing from the ground
More stones! Traveling the stars
More stones! Boring, thankless, lifeless
Stones! (Stones)
Woah, yeah!

[Outro:]
Crushing with indifference
Our bones under the stones
Voyeurs of misfortune
Our bones under the stones, yeah yeah
Our bones under the stones
