White Stone Songtext

von Funeral Mist

Numbered, weighed, and found
Wanting...

A white stone and a new na-
Me, at peace with the lord and
Freed from blame, all debts re-
Mitted, thy sould washed
Clean, O glorious splen-
Dours of the rebirth.

...But that stone is a lump of
Coal, for thou hadst a whore's
Forehead, thou refusedst to be
Ashamed.

A white stone and a new
Name, restoring the years
That the locust have eaten, again
Clean enough to speak his name,
Oh happy vantage of a kneeling knee

...But that name is a ghost
Unseen, for thou hadst a whore's
Forehead, thou refusedst to be
Ashamed. Mene, Mene, Tekel,
Upharsin... thou refusedst
To be ashamed.

Numbered, weighed, and found
Wanting...

A white stone and a new na-
Me, thy lamp removed from the
Altar of shame, but that name
Is a ghost unseen, for thou
Hadst a whore's forehead, thou
Refusedst to be ashamed.
