lyrics

she laid it down the day the virus reached her neighborhood
laid it in the stream by the barricade
a small rounded pebble that bared both their names
in hopes that he would find it one day

and so it came to pass
the virus took out everyone
leaving her to wander the countryside

she wondered if he'd ever made it out somehow
or simply parished like the rest

then a voice rose from the darknesss
and a man stepped forward
said you can stay in your safety or I can take you onward
so she ran up to join him
and all the others that gathered
as they started their journey
it was this they chanted

I stand the ground that many have before since fallen over stones and the pebbles that have brought the modern man to his knees and
I hear the sound of evolution calling from the mountains and in the wind calling us to rise against the market world

new day dawns
the fear of life has passed
voice of truth
free to speak at last

pebble in your hand
all the things you could make it do
build a life that never existed
or kill the ones that did this to you
