Carved in Stone - Kari Rueslåtten

I let myself in Through the kitchen door

Silence at first

I found her on the floor

I have walked through fire, she said

I ran, I ran as fast as I could

But I was still too late

Just like my father

She gave away every hour of every day

She could never find a way out of this place

Her life was carved in stone

There was not much I could do She let me stay the night

I have walked through fire, she said

Even the birds are ctying

How come I feel no pain

No sadness at all
