Standing Stone

from Of Ash & Water by Emissary

lyrics

At the right time, but a victim of the geometry of place;
You hold my hand as the light fades into dusk

You struck the fear of God into me,
How could I begin to be?

Son of a wandering star, help me find my own way,
Son of a wandering star, what do you see as your light is fading away?

You struck the fear of God into me,
How could I begin to be?

(you,
struck,
the,
fear)

I drew the angles, I drew the lines
Connecting you and I through time
They cast a shadow in my mind
You cast a shadow in my mind

I drew the angles, I knew the trines
Connecting you and I through time
They cast a shadow in my mind
You cast a shadow it's -

Immovable, formidable,
Immutable, redoubtable
And in the latter days dismayed
(you stood like stone, known by stars alone)
And in the latter days decayed
(you stood like stone)
And the mourners bring their sympathies in spades
in spades...

Towering above me, tall as the sky
Your visage finally let in the light,
Crumbling to ashes before my eyes
Submerged completely in passing time

Concentric circles remember the times
(wasting away)
I sang the words, I knew the rhymes
(in eternal decay)
Concentric circles remember the times
(wasting away)
I sang the words, I knew the rhymes
(in eternal decay)
