Bones Make The Blood

from New Frequency Response by James Keyes

/

lyrics

In a dream I had a vision and heard a voice that spoke to me
But dreams are ever fleeting, now we chase eternally
I can see the Angel in the stone and carved until I set him free

Without grace I’m but a golem,
imprisoned in this earthen shell
These new creature bear false witness
and worship gods of earthly wealth
I’ve been in this form too long to want to see what the sculptor see

I don’t judge I only serve,
We do what we do and we do it all for love

Place my tools on the table,
ancient and immaculate
Obedient my hands are,
to free will or divine command
“Bones make the blood” she said to me
No blood from this stone until she’s free

I could wait a while longer, I’m happy not to be disturbed
You humans need your pictures, I’d rather have a thousand words...
