In my hand I hold your stone
Dark glitter, black glass
I know I am alone.
Close my eyes I see your face
Surrounded by the black of space and the stars
They are friends to me now.
Alone- but not crying now
Alone- darkness glows somehow
Will God punish me? I don’t know
But in me something grows
Alone.
Close my eyes; I see the outline of your hand.
Cross my arms; the dark face of another man.
The dagger lying on the dirt, sleeping baby undisturbed
And the roots- they are friends to me now.
Alone- I see colors now
Alone- darkness knows me somehow
Will he find me here? I don’t know
But I know I will crawl to the throne
Alone.
In the night, something moves the air
On my skin, I feel his darkness everywhere
Tall trees bow and bend; I can not pretend
Power you have always been my friend.
Alone- no more crying now
Alone- darkness shows me how
Will God find me here? I don’t know
But I know I will reach for the bone
Alone.
