The World Turned To Stone

Lyrics:

A boy blew out a tune on a toy whistle.
The moon heard it echo. The wind heard it cry.
The clouds changed its sound.
In another country, it fell from the sky.
Unnoticed, it fell to the ground.

There are words only heard in the dark.
There are stories only told to strangers.
We dance to radio signals warbling
in the air. We change our faces daily.
We turn the world over. We sleep when we can.

They wear masks of tin; they glitter in the sun.
Their rockets blaze. They build warheads by the ton.
They talk of peace but it never comes.
A cloud descends, the lies resume.
Their minds are empty; their hearts are blank.

At midnight the world turned to stone;
and with it, the human head was reduced to bone.
The mountains turned purple, the sky turned gray.
Rivers and oceans froze, the land filled with snow.
The world went to sleep; the world turned to stone.

A boy blew out a tune on a toy whistle.
The moon heard it echo. Constellations heard it cry.
On another planet, it fell from the sky.
The clouds changed its sound.
Unnoticed, it fell to the ground.

There are words only heard in the dark.
There are stories only told to strangers.
We dance to radio signals warbling in the air.
We dance to the sound of a distant star.
We dance to the sound of the blue guitar.
