Cast In Stone Lyrics
On the fall of our kingdom time would never be the same
Cursed mortals,
their ignorance brought about undying pain
Not of life nor of death
Light...we'll never see again
Entombed, now and forever by the suns blinding light
Trapped by flesh turned to stone, set free by the night
Lavish lords that we once were condemned to never die
As we watch the genocide from on high
Long ago...the first age of earth
From the dragons womb we're given birth
Protectors of our fathers right
Guardians of primordial light
How can we save our dying world
From the humans lack of sight
The darkest corner of your mind
is where we choose to live
Reminding you of what you've lost
in your quest for dominance
Of our children all is gone except the terror in your soul
Our image cast in stone, which once was flesh and bone
The time will come when we rise and reclaim our domain
from the war and deceit which infests our world
We are all around you
Watching, waiting...in the shadows
i think this song is about how mankind is so violent...how everone is out for power and dont think of our future. All this war for power will bring the end of mankind....so basically it is senceless to go to war over land and power if the world will be destroyed by it
I think this one is found on Alive in Athens. Isn't it on any of their studio albums? I find it kinda strange they only performed this live.
Its also on 'Days of Purgatory'.
Its also on 'Days of Purgatory'.
This song comes originally from their demo CD, "Enter The Realm," if I recall correctly, back when they were still called Purgatory, I think. But this is the same song as "Written on the Walls," just different lyrics. With that in mind, why play this at Alive in Athens if they thought it needed to be redone anyway?
scratch my previous comment. this is indeed an early song, maybe from the Purgatory years, but it's not on "Enter The Realm," (The were Iced Earth by the time they released that EP), but it is on both "Alive in Athens" and "Days Of Purgatory."
The song is pretty much about gargoyles and how humans somehow cursed them to turn to stone during the day. It's pretty much Written on the Walls from the first album, just rewritten lyrics
