Roll Away Your Stone Lyrics

Cover art for Roll Away Your Stone lyrics by Mumford & Sons

"Stars hide your fires For these here are my desires"

Makes me think of Macbeth,

'For in my way it lies. Stars, hide your fires; Let not light see me black and deep desires'

This is immediately what I thought of as well.

Exactly what I thought.

you may also want to note it seems to be written in iambic pentameter, Shakespeare's meter of choice, i mean theres a few substitutions made, but for the most part the song is iambic pentameter
