Marian Call Standing Stones
We drew nine lines from east to west
We drew nine from north to south
And we stitched our names in concrete veins
Through miles and miles and miles of ground
The solid rock, it does not care
If we scratch our names, if we scab and tear
If we line and spine and grind it
If we dare to try to sign it
But we were here, yes, we were here
Say the spirals and the runes / ruins
Yes, we made beauty, it made sense
Sometimes in our better moments
We were wild and we were wrong
And this is how our portrait's drawn
So sculpt and sketch and sign your own
All we leave are standing stones
We scored the limestone just like so
To map the stars' ascent
To prove we understood the moon
We left circles where she went
The triangle unlocked for us
To Babel up our towers
And then we wrangled fire and rocketeered
Our sticks back to the stars
Saying we were here, yes, we were here
With the ciphers in the caves
Yes, we made beauty, it made sense
Once a lifetime, we were brave, oh
We were wild and we were wrong
And this is how our portrait's drawn
So sculpt and sketch and sign your own
All we leave are standing stones
The stars have hardly time for us
They'll scatter every sign of us
But my path is mine and I'm drivin' dust
As I find it find it find it
As I dare to try to sign it
But I am here, I am here
That's all I can know
I'll sing it spell it smash it, hell, it's
What my soul is for
But we were here, yes, we were here
And this is how it went
We made beauty, it made sense
And we destroy and we repent because
We were wild and we were wrong
And this is how our judgment's drawn
So sculpt and sketch and sign your own
All we leave are standing stones
All we leave are standing stones
