lyrics

Perched on the steeple,
Talons dig in stone

A guardian of hope
A watchman of words
A soldier of faith

It would seem the earthen warrior
Is cast in iron

The rains were no surprise
Inevitable waters
You’re braced against the wind
Your skin begins to soften

It seeps into the cracks
Bringing moisture to your veins
More than erosion,
You’re reverting into clay.

Untransforming

Was this mound of dirt ever strong?

Were you predestined to fall,
Or was it self-elected?
You have the right essence,
but it’s been diluted.

Will you be remade?
