  • Roll away your stone I will roll away mine
    Together we can see what we will find
    Don't leave me alone at this time
    For I am afraid of what I will discover inside

    You told me that I would find a home
    Within the fragile substance of my soul
    And I have filled this void with things unreal
    And all the while my character it steals

    And darkness is a harsh term don't you think
    And yet it dominates the things I see

    It seems that all my bridges have been burned
    But you say 'That's exactly how this grace thing works'
    It's not the long walk home that will change this heart
    But the welcome I receive with every start

    Darkness is a harsh term don't you think
    And yet it dominates the things I see
    Darkness is a harsh term don't you think
    And yet it dominates the things I see

    Stars hide your fires
    For these here are my desires
    And I won't give them up to you this time around
    And so I'll be found
    With my stake stuck in this ground
    Marking the territory of this newly impassioned soul

    Stars hide your fires
    For these here are my desires
    And I won't give them up to you this time around
    And so I'll be found
    With my stake stuck in this ground
    Marking the territory of this newly impassioned soul

    And you, you've gone too far this time
    You have neither reason nor rhyme
    With which to take this soul that is so rightfully mine Writer/s: BENJAMIN WALTER DAVID LOVETT, EDWARD JAMES MILTON DWANE, MARCUS OLIVER JOHNSTONE MUMFORD, WINSTON AUBREY ALADAR MARSHALL
