White Stone Lyrics

Numbered, weighed, and found
wanting...

A white stone and a new na-
me, at peace with the lord and
freed from blame, all debts re-
mitted, thy sould washed
clean, O glorious splen-
dours of the rebirth.

...But that stone is a lump of
coal, for thou hadst a w****'s
forehead, thou refusedst to be
ashamed.
A white stone and a new
name, restoring the years
that the locust have eaten, again
clean enough to speak his name,
oh happy vantage of a knee-
ling knee

...But that name is a ghost
unseen, for thou hadst a w****'s
forehead, thou refusedst to be
ashamed. Mene, Mene, Tekel,
Upharsin... thou refusedst
to be ashamed.
Numbered, weighed, and found
wanting...

A white stone and a new na-
me, thy lamp removed from the
altar of shame, but that name
is a ghost unseen, for thou
hadst a w****'s forehead, thou
refusedst to be ashamed.
