REFLECTIONS IN STONE CIRCLES
STANDING SILENT THROUGH THE YEARS
WITNESSING MANKINDS JOY AND TEARS
RELIGIOUS SONGS PRAISE SUN AND MOON
PAGAN RITUALS FROM TIME BEGUN
FUTILE WARS IN WHICH MEN KILL
STANDING SILENT, WATCHFULL, STILL
WE`VE WITNESSED HOW THE EARTH HAS CHANGED
AND SEEN THE MADNESS OF MEN DERANGED
WE`VE SEEN THE BIRTH OF NEWBORN CHILD
AND THE DECIMATION OF THE WILD
THE TREES CUT DOWN, THE EARTH PLOUGHED THROUGH
GENERATIONS LIVED AND THEN CAME YOU
STANDING CLAD IN MANTLE GREY
CASTING SHADOWS ON EACH NEW DAY
ALONE AND SILENT WE DO STAND
AND WATCH THE RAVAGE OF THE LAND
A CIRCLE BUILT OF STONE SO COLD
SEEING CHILDREN GROWING OLD
WE`VE SEEN PROGRESSION FROM TOOLS OF BONE
MANKINDS FLIGHT AND MOBILE PHONE
STRANGERS CAME FROM FAR OFF LANDS
AND DANCED AROUND US HOLDING HANDS
RELIGIOUS MEN AROUND US THRONG
CHANTING PRAYERS IN ALIEN TONGUE
MEN OF PEACE AND MEN OF WAR
ABOVE THE CLOUDS YOUR ROCKETS SOAR
SERENITY OF THE QUIET PEACE
OBSCENITY OF WAR RELEASED
WE`VE SEEN THE PILGRIM IN SILENT PRAYER
ALWAYS KNOWING WE WOULD BE THERE
FOR COUNTLESS YEARS WE HAVE STOOD ERECT
ALWAYS TREATED WITH RESPECT
THE NEW DAY DAWNS WITH EERIE MIST
A THOUSAND LOVERS HAVE WE SEEN KISSED
WE`VE SEEN THE GENTLE WHO SILENT PRAY
WITNESSED THE FEASTS ON SOLSTICE DAY
NATURES CARESS ON STONE FACADE
WE STAND SILENT, COLD AND HARD
IN GENTLE SILENCE STAND ERECT
IN OUR SHADE WISE MEN REFLECT
WE`VE WITNESSED JOY AND SEEN THE TEARS
SUCH RAW EMOTIONS THROUGH THE YEARS
AND THROUGH IT ALL WE BRING OUR PEACE
OUR ALTER STONE SEE`S LIFE RELEASED
UNTIL THE END OF MANKINDS TIME
WE STAND ERECT OUR PEACE SUBLIME
BRING YOUR SORROWS AND YOUR FEARS
AND LEAVE IN PEACE WITHOUT YOUR TEARS
