Stone Cold

Song lyrics

Dark rain falling upward from the sea of grief and pain
and people screaming, people dieing, each and every single day
Demons dashing all about, and filling all our precious lives with doubt
and Gorgons turning every heart to stone, stone cold

Do you see the man on the street?
He's hungry and cold, no shoes on his feet
But you stroll by and turn away
For you to him have nothing to say
Help me please, says the tired old man,
I'm hungry and cold please lend me a hand
And you in your precious designer clothes
Don't hear him, cause he's just poor

Dark rain falling upward from the sea of grief and pain
and people screaming, people dieing, each and every single day
Demons dashing all about, and filling all our precious lives with doubt
and Gorgons turning every heart to stone, stone cold

See that girl on the TV screen?
Don't you wonder where she's been?
Why could she be lying down?
Writhing in pain on the ground?
You wonder what else could be on
This shows been on for much too long
You flip the channel to another show
Cause you don't care and you don't know

Dark rain falling upward from the sea of grief and pain
and people screaming, people dieing, each and every single day
Why oh why could this be happening? Is it really that obscene,
to just ignore the thing and hope is goes away?

A gunshot rings aloud downstairs
Your mother's slumped over a chair
You scream for help, for god's sake why?
why does your mother have to die?
The shoeless man runs in to help
He sees your face and then he yelps
Looks at your mother's dieing form
And strides away out through the door

Dark rain falling upward from the sea of grief and pain
and people screaming, people dieing, each and every single day
Demons dashing all about, and filling all our precious lives with doubt
and Gorgons turning every heart to stone, stone cold

Demons dashing all about, and filling all our precious lives with doubt
and Gorgons turning every heart to stone, stone cold
