Tears of Stone Lyrics

A silent night so unexpected unassuming
Upon the hill their sleep was then disturbed
There was a raid that killed most of their men
And still they cried but nobody heard
It's time to face the truth, there is no end in sight
I cannot let them take my life tonight
What is a man who does not face his death with honour
Over the edge we ride

Six suns have set and risen
No prayer I have not given
This deafening silence is
All I have but still I listen
My heart beats on in yearning
When is my love returning
I fear the worst has happened
Scared to find I'm right confirming

I lay awake with pictures running through my head
What is my purpose thinking I'm better dead
Love brings me closer and closer to the edge
Where I will find you

When will I see your face again
Can't you see I've cried ten rivers but it doesn't bring you home
And all the sadness and the sorrow left inside of me
Forever lives inside these tears of stone

Sometimes I lay and wonder
Why my life's torn asunder
Did I deserve this punishment
This storm of rain and thunder
What will the afterlife be
I pray you're waiting for me
I look up to the sky and
Swear I heard your voice just calling

I lay awake with pictures running through my head
What is my purpose thinking I'm better dead
Love brings me closer and closer to the edge
Where I will find you

When will I see your face again
Can't you see I've cried ten rivers but it doesn't bring you home
And all the sadness and the sorrow left inside of me
Forever lives inside these tears of stone

When will I see your face again
Can't you see I've cried ten rivers but it doesn't bring you home
And all the sadness and the sorrow left inside of me
Forever lives inside these tears of stone

These tears have turned to stone
