Passing through the eye of the rocks
Gather them all in pieces
Whether they were slaves or priests
The sink and the afloat
Like the memories of the deadman
To bind a living nature
And turning distress to life
Running away from the lazy man's option
That there's no better way to fly
Than to grow a wing in the spirit
Through the eye of the standing rocks.
