 Children of Stone

Our chemical devotions of the night
Bring endless labyrinths of vines to light
Your silent spell won't bring you home tonight
You couldn't open up your veins to light

All that blossoms, all that blooms lies fallow in the night
Waits for a golden sunlight
All that blossoms, all that blooms lies fallow in the night
Waits for a golden sunlight

Our chemical devotions of the night
Desanguinate limbs veined with valleys of ice
Children of stone, your crystal cages align
Crown of creation, bring me into the light

All that blossoms, all that blooms lies fallow in the night
Waits for the golden sunlight
All that blossoms, all that blooms lies fallow in the night
Waits for a golden sunlight

Our chemical devotions of the night
Desanguinate limbs veined with valleys of ice
Children of stone, your crystal cages align
Crown of creation, bring me into the light

All that blossoms, all that blooms lies fallow in the night
Waits for the golden sunlight
All that blossoms, all that blooms lies fallow in the night
Waits for a golden sunlight
