Stone Dead and Rising

Stone dead and rising
You’ll lead the way
My will follows you there
Stronger by the day

I’ll hold you closer
Closer than the dawn
That brought me screaming
Into this world

Spent time inside time
Laughed hard as might
The things I held dearest
Seemed just out of sight

Cling to the arrows
That stick from your side
These keep you strong when
Your mind leaves the light

You’ll lift me higher
Far up above
The pain and indifference
Clouds of distrust

We’ll grow together
No fear of the dark
Patchwork are the hours
Late are their remarks

We’ll walk in our way
Past all the scars
Dug deep within us
Lost from this world

Born child, oh child born
Born far away
In one another’s hearts
In one another’s heart
