Stone Angel

The days stretch before her like a road
Each step she takes becomes an overload
Her shoes are worn and her dress threadbare
Covering all the dark bruises she wears

No one ever questions no one ever asks
It's hard to see her tears behind the masks
She wears with such conviction and might
It's hard to believe she never put up a fight

As cold as ice and hard as stone
She stands in silence all alone
A world of inconsequential disbelief
That can steal your soul like a thief
But still she hides biding her time
An angel made of stone in her mind...

A voice that cries out in the night
And neighbours bow their heads out of sight
A broken heart and a shattered peace
Where tears are shed and never cease

As cold as ice and hard as stone
She stands in silence all alone
A world of inconsequential disbelief
That can steal your soul like a thief
But still she hides biding her time
An angel made of stone in her mind...

While in this time and in this place
Shadows dance across each face
That echo each and every pain
An angel's crying sad refrain...

As cold as ice and hard as stone
She stands in silence all alone
A world of inconsequential disbelief
That can steal your soul like a thief
But still she hides biding her time
An angel made of stone in her mind...
