about

title thanks to Song Fight!

lyrics

I am a wounded stone split down to the core
I know my mother green can't handle any more
I feel the ocean move as the moon it fades to day
I sing a crystal tune your flames will burn away

Rest in peace your destiny I dream

On the hill of Calvary I build a wooden tower
And from that height I can see the folly of your power
All this weight I cannot bear, the ardor of your fumes
From poplar boughs with blossoms white I forge my sword – a plume

Rest in peace your destiny I dream
One day I will see your fate a-gleam

Hippocratic oaths forsworn: first, you do no harm
The blood of innocents to spill keeps the Devil warm
And on your passing to the black we dance and drink and sing
And on your tombstone rolled away we fashion flowered strings

Rest in peace your destiny I dream
One day I will see your fate a-gleam
One day I will set your fate on fire
Rest in peace your destiny: a pyre
