lyrics

Yet another stone stacked up
Another step to take
Another direction to explore
Breath after breath
Life after life
Death after death
Stone upon stone

From the smallest pebble
To the largest boulder
Are built countless pathways
Yet another stone stacked up
Another step to take
Another direction to explore

The highest monument is still built
The longest journey is still taken on
One step at a time

Yet another stone stacked up
Another step to take
Another direction to explore

Off the paved road, off the beaten track
An ancient cairn stands proud
As it has always done
Its stones defy Time
They remain unaffected by its assaults
And after thousands of years
They will still stand

Outlasting our lives
Beacons in the mist of Time
Immortality crafted
By a mortal's hand

Allowing him to venture
Even further
On the same road
As his predecessors

Off the paved road, off the beaten track
We add our stone to the cairns we followed
Merely extending what already is
A new idea resting firmly on former ones

Yet another stone stacked up
Another step to take
Another direction to explore
Breath after breath
Life after life
Death after death
Stone upon stone

A heap of stones will turn into a cairn
Only thanks to the craftman's art

Regardless of their numbers
Ideas stacked at random

Will crumble, whereas a few
Assembled with care and structure

Will be able to travel beyond the certainty of Death
The implacable end of all

And the roads of stones will reach further
And the spiral of ideas will keep circling

As long as there are men
To put one stone upon another
