Audioslave - Like A Stone

On a cobweb afternoon

in a room full of emptiness
by a freeway i confess

I was lost in the pages
of a book full of death
reading how we'll die alone

and if we're good we'll lay to rest

anywhere we want to go

 

In your house i long to be
room by room patiently

i'll wait for you there

like a stone i'll wait for you there

alone

On my deathbed i will pray
to the gods and the angels

like a pagan to anyone

who will take me to heaven

to a place i call

I was there so long ago

the sky was bruised

the wine was bled

and there you led me on

In your house i long to be

room by room patiently

i'll wait for you there

like a stone i'll wait for you there

alone

And on i read

until the day was gone

and i sat in regret

of all the things i've done

For all that i've blessed

and all that i've wronged

in dreams until my death

i will wander on
