Carved In Stone - Memory Garden

Come and burn with me

I have something you must see

The imitation of being

Can be so revealing

Like a tug in a floodgate

In the leash breeding on hate

Our ancestors did the same

Just another face and another name

A vapid taste of onus

It’s our eternal penance

Swept away with the flood

Awakening in knee deep mud

Our darkest day like marionettes made of clay

Turned from a calm dreamer

Into a panicing screamer

I will be forever, forever carved in stone

A darkening era has come

For a moment I was done

Seek and ye shall find

As the time groans in my mind

This road to nevermore turns and wind

The way to our own kind

I will be forever, forever carved in stone
