Gardens Of Stone lyrics

Why is this doubt lingering? When all I see is stone Why is this heart still beating? When all I touch is gone The gods have laughed The gods have raped The gods have forsaken The grace of growth The gods have laughed The gods have raped The gods have given The gods have bestowed The grace of emptiness Unto a crown of snakes You shall not see You shall not hear A single sound A single tear Why is this doubt lingering? When all I see is stone Why is this heart still beating? When all I touch is gone
