Enclosed in stone each transient soul is lost Untouched of creation or by human thought Until that moment of descending liberation Ignites the flame of our fervent imagination Breaking chains of imprisoning solid inertia Shattering slabs of gravity buried in marble Releasing mortal dreams of liberty and beauty Carved from matters shackling solid prism Thus we are the stone that slays the stone The similar to the similar liberates freedom Crushing tyrants into broken endless dust The very matter from whence we came to be And to which all souls shall return eternally To rise again in renascent beautiful symmetry Reincarnated in the image of the solid flesh Gazing at a philistine crumpled on the dirt.

David dressed in stone
Enclosed in stone each transient soul is lost Untouched of creation or by human thought Until that moment of descending liberation Ignites the flame of our fervent imagination Breaking chains of imprisoning solid inertia Shattering slabs of gravity buried in marble Releasing mortal dreams of liberty and beauty Carved from matters shackling solid prism Thus we are the stone that slays the stone The similar to the similar liberates freedom Crushing tyrants into broken endless dust The very matter from whence we came to be And to which all souls shall return eternally To rise again in renascent beautiful symmetry Reincarnated in the image of the solid flesh Gazing at a philistine crumpled on the dirt.
