Gardens of Stone
Cliff West / Diccon Harper

Souls of man since departed
Gaze below watch the weeds grow
Empty fields covered with crosses
How much does the priest know

Spirit walks enters the garden
corpses glow row after row
Dust to dust ashes to ashes
Looks about knows there is nowhere to go

Gardens of stone
Gardens of stone

Child asks where is my father
Mother points Where soldiers go
Tears have bled across the horizon
Till there's no more to flow

No more room for temples of fear
Holy grave no prophets to trust
No more lies no one to hear
All around the coldness and the cross

Gardens of stone
Gardens of stone

From the day back to the darkness
Man has fled back to the night
All his dreams back in the silence
Could he not face the signs

Once he stood strong in the sunlight
Now his bones bleach in the ground
Does he rise up to the heaven's
Does he stay forever in his mound

Gardens of stone
