The Sacred Stones Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Give me a sign, dear father of darkness
In the light, I'm no good
I'm dying to assemble the darlings
My faith in God is so low
[Chorus]
Bring the fuel
And light up the crosses of stones
And behold the, the maker
The power he holds
[Verse 2]
Light the fire, dear father of darkness
The wings of death will unfold
I'm dying to asunder the darlings
My faith in God is so cold
[Chorus]
Bring the fuel
And light up the crosses of stones
And behold the, the maker
The power he holds
[Post-Chorus]
It's the devil that breathes within the heart
It's the father of the stones
A spirit of evil, a taker of souls
The power that he holds
Is the power of the sacred stones
[Verse 3]
Give me a sign, dear father of darkness
In the light, I'm no good
I'm dying to asunder the darlings
My faith in God is so low
[Chorus]
Bring the fuel
And light up the crosses of stones
And behold the, the maker
The power he holds
[Post-Chorus]
It's the devil that breathes within the heart
It's the father of the stones
A spirit of evil, a taker of souls
The darlings of Heaven will all turn into stones
And taken to Hell and dumped into a black hole
The power that he holds
Is the power of the sacred stones
[Guitar Solo]
Give me a sign, dear father of darkness
In the light, I'm no good
I'm dying to assemble the darlings
My faith in God is so low
Bring the fuel
And light up the crosses of stones
And behold the, the maker
The power he holds
Light the fire, dear father of darkness
The wings of death will unfold
I'm dying to asunder the darlings
My faith in God is so cold
Bring the fuel
And light up the crosses of stones
And behold the, the maker
The power he holds
It's the devil that breathes within the heart
It's the father of the stones
A spirit of evil, a taker of souls
The power that he holds
Is the power of the sacred stones
Give me a sign, dear father of darkness
In the light, I'm no good
I'm dying to asunder the darlings
My faith in God is so low
Bring the fuel
And light up the crosses of stones
And behold the, the maker
The power he holds
It's the devil that breathes within the heart
It's the father of the stones
A spirit of evil, a taker of souls
The darlings of Heaven will all turn into stones
And taken to Hell and dumped into a black hole
The power that he holds
Is the power of the sacred stones

This track is an exploration of the power dynamics between God and the devil, as well as themes of faith and darkness. It delves into the inner conflict and questioning of faith, centering around the existence and power of darkness as opposed to the traditional notion of God. It explores the potentially tempting allure and influence that darkness can have over one's beliefs and perception of the world, telling a tale of someone who's feeling disconnected from their God and desires a sign or confirmation of the existence of darkness, from the "father of darkness."
According to Michael Poulson, it's about “an earthly being who has committed himself to the dark side. He is on a mission, speaking to darker forces and fallen angels.”
