The Whisper of Stones

[Verse 1]
A cobbled lane
The air stood still
Under the shadow of the mill
The town
It whispered
Soft and low
Of things the elders dared not show
A tale carved deep in bark and stone
The secret kept
Yet never known
[Chorus]
Oh
The whisper of stones
They sing
They cry
Of hands that built
Of truths that lie
The roots run deep
The tale won’t fade
The small town’s truth in shadow laid
[Verse 2]
By moonlit nights
The fiddler played
And children danced where silence stayed
A carved old rune upon the gate
A mark of love
Or sign of fate?
The fields held more than wheat and rye
They held the weight of buried skies
[Chorus]
Oh
The whisper of stones
They sing
They cry
Of hands that built
Of truths that lie
The roots run deep
The tale won’t fade
The small town’s truth in shadow laid
[Bridge]
The miller’s son
The blacksmith’s bride
Knew what the elders tried to hide
A pact of blood
A secret vow
A power claimed
But lost somehow
The stars have watched a hundred years
And still they shine through whispered fears
[Chorus]
Oh
The whisper of stones
They sing
They cry
Of hands that built
Of truths that lie
The roots run deep
The tale won’t fade
The small town’s truth in shadow laid
