Cast the Stone

My band's newest song. Written by myself, restructured from an older piece. Enjoy.


"Cast the Stone"

I am a sanctuary.
A haven for your kind.
All the small rejected children
Flushed from the womb like parasites.

I am a missionary.
A gentle beacon of light.
Leading you from troubled waters.
Providing a future you were denied.

When those who spawned you relinquish their duties.
When your flesh is torn, and your lifeleines ripped apart.
When the blood stops pumping through your undeveloped heart...

When their cruel instruments blunt your inheritance.
When the drugs and hangers dissolve your destiny.
When you're purged like some sort of horrible tumor...

I commit these acts with a Saint's intentions.
Yet the Stones of Judgment crush my bones.
Still, the bodies of those helpless children
Ease my weary soul.

When I'm gone, I'll be remembered a monster.
My name will echo, a curse for all.
Yet, those who cast these hurtful stones...
Aborted you.
