《And the Stone Said: If I Could Speak》歌词

[00:00:00] And the Stone Said: If I Could Speak - Beardfish

[00:04:34] I was alone and it was night

[00:04:38] I had nobody else to turn to

[00:04:42] But the voices talking to me from afar

[00:04:49] And with endearing words so silent

[00:04:53] They told me the secret about who you really are

[00:05:04] A million images and words long since forgotten

[00:05:10] Of events that no one ever saw

[00:05:19] I hear a whimper as I kneel

[00:05:23] Realizing that it's your pain that I feel

[00:05:34] In this house of worship I'm a stone

[00:05:46] And as I wandered through the night

[00:05:49] I felt a presence of the past the future

[00:05:54] And the present now

[00:06:00] The voices placed me in the minds

[00:06:04] Of two young lovers

[00:06:07] The husband in the war who's never coming home

[00:06:15] The young girl realizing she's in fact a boy

[00:06:22] And the old man recollecting his first toy

[00:06:30] The widow the rapist a gold digger the hero

[00:06:37] And at last the voice I heard before

[00:06:45] In this house of worship I'm a stone

[00:06:56] But there's blood gushing out

[00:06:58] Of the cracks and fissures

[00:07:04] Split me in two I'm hollow inside

[00:07:12] You can't make me feel their sorrow

[00:07:19] Did you think that the earth could cry

[00:07:46] I was alone and it was night

[00:08:37] But there's blood gushing out

[00:08:39] Of the cracks and fissures

[00:08:45] Split me in two I'm hollow inside

[00:08:52] You can't make me feel their sorrow

[00:09:00] Did you think that the earth could cry

[00:09:23] In the dark a mist of light

[00:09:32] Leading down into it's bowels

[00:09:40] And I walk the spiral staircase

[00:09:48] As the mist slowly dissolves

[00:10:35] A wooden banister a bridge

[00:10:43] And a vast stone wall up ahead

[00:10:51] I cross the bridge and hear the voices

[00:10:59] And they're speaking of the dead

[00:11:28] In moments of hallucinated power

[00:11:32] You thought that you had us stalled

[00:11:36] But ours are tears of liquid fire

[00:11:40] Watch us cry a river over you

[00:11:44] To comprehend me

[00:11:48] You can think of this place as my home

[00:11:52] From here I've seen it all

[00:11:56] Throughout time I've watched your mistakes

[00:12:03] But there's blood gushing out

[00:12:04] Of the cracks and fissures

[00:12:09] Split me in two I'm hollow inside

[00:12:14] You can't make me feel their sorrow

[00:12:18] Did you think that the earth could cry

[00:12:27] Then again

[00:12:28] Then again

[00:12:31] Then again

[00:12:32] Then again

[00:12:39] Then again

[00:12:56] To comprehend me

[00:13:00] You can think of what I have gone through

[00:13:04] I've aided dirty hands

[00:13:07] When they've stoned defenseless innocents

[00:13:16] I am every stone on earth

[00:13:20] Everything is recorded in me

[00:13:24] But I'm not to interfere

[00:13:27] Just continue to act as if I'm not here

[00:13:32] I don't care for love or hate

[00:13:36] And I know there is no such thing as fate

[00:13:40] No greater power will punish your mistakes

[00:13:44] Your acts are out of your own

[00:13:49] Out of your own out of your own free will

[00:14:10] I was here before you

[00:14:15] And I'll still be here when you're gone

[00:14:23] I'll still be here when you're gone
