And the Stone Said: If I Could Speak - Beardfish[00:00:00]
I was alone and it was night[00:04:34]
I had nobody else to turn to[00:04:38]
But the voices talking to me from afar[00:04:42]
And with endearing words so silent[00:04:49]
They told me the secret about who you really are[00:04:53]
A million images and words long since forgotten[00:05:04]
Of events that no one ever saw[00:05:10]
I hear a whimper as I kneel[00:05:19]
Realizing that it's your pain that I feel[00:05:23]
In this house of worship I'm a stone[00:05:34]
And as I wandered through the night[00:05:46]
I felt a presence of the past the future[00:05:49]
And the present now[00:05:54]
The voices placed me in the minds[00:06:00]
Of two young lovers[00:06:04]
The husband in the war who's never coming home[00:06:07]
The young girl realizing she's in fact a boy[00:06:15]
And the old man recollecting his first toy[00:06:22]
The widow the rapist a gold digger the hero[00:06:30]
And at last the voice I heard before[00:06:37]
In this house of worship I'm a stone[00:06:45]
But there's blood gushing out[00:06:56]
Of the cracks and fissures[00:06:58]
Split me in two I'm hollow inside[00:07:04]
You can't make me feel their sorrow[00:07:12]
Did you think that the earth could cry[00:07:19]
I was alone and it was night[00:07:46]
But there's blood gushing out[00:08:37]
Of the cracks and fissures[00:08:39]
Split me in two I'm hollow inside[00:08:45]
You can't make me feel their sorrow[00:08:52]
Did you think that the earth could cry[00:09:00]
In the dark a mist of light[00:09:23]
Leading down into it's bowels[00:09:32]
And I walk the spiral staircase[00:09:40]
As the mist slowly dissolves[00:09:48]
A wooden banister a bridge[00:10:35]
And a vast stone wall up ahead[00:10:43]
I cross the bridge and hear the voices[00:10:51]
And they're speaking of the dead[00:10:59]
In moments of hallucinated power[00:11:28]
You thought that you had us stalled[00:11:32]
But ours are tears of liquid fire[00:11:36]
Watch us cry a river over you[00:11:40]
To comprehend me[00:11:44]
You can think of this place as my home[00:11:48]
From here I've seen it all[00:11:52]
Throughout time I've watched your mistakes[00:11:56]
But there's blood gushing out[00:12:03]
Of the cracks and fissures[00:12:04]
Split me in two I'm hollow inside[00:12:09]
You can't make me feel their sorrow[00:12:14]
Did you think that the earth could cry[00:12:18]
Then again[00:12:27]
Then again[00:12:28]
Then again[00:12:31]
Then again[00:12:32]
Then again[00:12:39]
To comprehend me[00:12:56]
You can think of what I have gone through[00:13:00]
I've aided dirty hands[00:13:04]
When they've stoned defenseless innocents[00:13:07]
I am every stone on earth[00:13:16]
Everything is recorded in me[00:13:20]
But I'm not to interfere[00:13:24]
Just continue to act as if I'm not here[00:13:27]
I don't care for love or hate[00:13:32]
And I know there is no such thing as fate[00:13:36]
No greater power will punish your mistakes[00:13:40]
Your acts are out of your own[00:13:44]
Out of your own out of your own free will[00:13:49]
I was here before you[00:14:10]
And I'll still be here when you're gone[00:14:15]
I'll still be here when you're gone[00:14:23]
