lyrics

Mason

Steadfast and cold,
As the hammer blows,
Such is fate, a fate in stone,
Carving for night under the sun.

And the star burns,
The clouds they float
And the wind flies.
And the mountain abides it all.

I wish I were the sun.
Dressed in fiery gown
I’d look forever down,
And sometimes you’d hate me,
But just for what I am.

What’s the measure of a mason?
And what’s his aspiration?
Just rudiments that condescend,
Or how he hides the stitches that it took to mend?
Or neither of all the things that I know about,
That I care about, that transcend this simple thought?

But the clouds swarm and cast shade
Oh, I’d rather be a cloud, it’s not too late!
But being a cloud, so shapeless and free -
My wind, where’re you pushing me?

That you roam the skies unbound
And with your slender wings
Carry the flock southwards
In the wintertime?
I wish I were.

Steadfast and cold,
To the mountain blows
The wind, and finds a fate in stone.
Yet mountains tremble at the mason’s approach…
