Earthmover

Carved out of stone

Earth

blood and bone

They knock the mountains down

The earth's grating sounds

They soothe the great machines

That yearn desperately

Just to lay them down

Within her gaping mouth

More than a symbol

More than I bargained for

More than a symbol

More than I bargained for

They wander ridges high

Between the earth and sky

Like spikes upon a crown

We wear upon our brow

And want is not a need

Reserved for human beings

It's fingers on your throat

Is pain that all things know

More than a symbol

More than I bargained for

More than a symbol

More than I bargained for

An army of the golems is stalking

now

the heart's lands

Eating all reality

Producing only dust and sand

Nothing hurts them

Nothing gets under their stone skin

And when their earthen mouths will open up

And just what words should come out but

“We wish we were dead”
