Gather 'Round the Stone

Gather 'round the stone

Off to die in vain
Gather 'round the stone
In a tear-drop shaped locket
Gather 'round the stone

Gather 'round the stone
I say, hey, hey, hey, hey
I say, hey, hey, hey, hey
Remember my name
Gather 'round the stone
I say, hey, hey, hey, hey
That you're too young to go
They will hear death's constant whisper call

I say, hey, hey, hey, hey
Gather 'round the stone
Ashes from an unfinished life
Gather 'round the stone
Gather 'round the stone
I say, hey, hey, hey, hey

You're too young to know

Are all that's left

Lying face up in the ground
Old men who send children
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Gather 'round the stone
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
You whip the back of freedom
‘Til it bleeds an oil stream
Hanging from his mother's chest
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Gather 'round the stone
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
In your killin' machine

Gather 'round the stone
Gather 'round the stone
I said, hey, hey, hey, hey
Then you sail down upon it
Gather 'round the stone
Gather 'round the stone

Hey, hey, hey, hey
There's no freedom to be found
I said, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
