lyrics

VERSE 1
See them approach now,
They don’t know her story.
And kneel before her,
Though there are no answers.

Silence to the questions that pour out of their mouths,
To the insults that drift down from the clouds.
Time goes by in a rush for all who linger.

CHORUS
Here in the silence of sleep,
What do they hope to achieve,
In search of a single light?

Virtue is pointless beneath,
Can’t avoid the approaching dark.

She’s but an idol of stone no one will ever know.

VERSE 2
Rain falls in earnest,
Petals bow earthward.
A face like an angel with slow erosion.

The years aren’t kind to faces like these,
A stature once great left behind by the trees.
Years pass like mourners, a constant stream.

PRECHORUS
Do I cry this time,
Do I scream this time,
Or will it be like before?

Won’t someone think of her?
Won’t someone pray for her?
Or is fate a permanent accord?

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 3
See them approach now,
They don’t know her story.
And kneel before her,
Though there are no answers.
