lyrics

One Stone, the Avalanche
(Skaith / Jones)

The president of nothing, the ground beneath his feet
Digging with his bare hands
The sedimented, suffocated layer of deceit

President of nowhere, the borders closing in
Even as his dreams come true
He’s compromising, minimising the space he dreams them in.

One stone, the avalanche. What is swept away?
Who will tell of those who walked and those who crept away?
One stone, the avalanche. What is left exposed?
The ribs of a bitter memory that never, ever decomposed.

The president of chaos, he don’t know which God to trust
But getting by without one
Isn’t easy since the certainties of science bit the dust.

One stone, the avalanche. What is swept away?
And who will tell of those who walked and those who crept away?
One stone the avalanche. What is left exposed?
The ribs of a bitter memory that never, ever decomposed.

What finds life when the ice thaws?
Ideas colder than the cold wars.

The presidents of absence in a discontinued post
Finding out the hardest way
To wrestle with the unforgiving, almost living ghost

One stone, the avalanche
One stone, the avalanche
One stone, the avalanche.
