Stones lyrics

When death finds them

And brings a conclusion

It witnesses struggles

To wage immortality

Over buried treasures

Moldering 'neath ground

Magnificent monuments

Legacies to awe, to ensure

Faceless and soulless

Immortality's attempt

Dissolves in the rains

And the snows of time

What purpose is there

To cast good to decay

That humility moderates

And benefits the living

So lost to the dead

No mortal gain to find

What is preserved today

Will find decay tomorrow

Its remnants a quandary

To those remaining still

The ages will forget them

To cursed clutter left behind
