I am the lone of my name
since the weight of the past crushed my last forebear's frame
Telling connections no more
Orphaned of everything that was in my life before
When in the mud a face I saw
I claimed the prize as my own
And searched for the wood in the heart of the stone
And I see Punch smile
heaviness growing all the while
Can we learn what they knew
in the days before the Little Shining Man was torn in two
I ran away with the pack
Dogs for companions, the fence at my back
Following a guide born blind
Seeking the Changes in ruins the war left behind
But in a ship some stones remained
So we hid the things that we stole
when the heir of corruption climbed out of the hole
And I see Punch smile
heaviness growing all the while
Can we learn what they knew
in the days before the Little Shining Man was torn in two
I learned the story long ago
But I could not number the cost
when I caught a glimpse of the things that were lost
And I see Punch smile
heaviness growing all the while
Can we learn what they knew
in the days before the Little Shining Man was torn in two
