The Stone Pavement

[Intro]
Silent whispers in the shadowed square,
Echoes of a verdict in the air.
Stone Pavement beneath the weight of fate,
A story carved in time, too late.

[Verse 1]
Under a clouded sky, the judge’s seat,
A quiet town where destinies meet.
The noon sun blazing, shadows cast,
A moment heavy, shadows amassed.

[Pre-Chorus]
They call for justice, for blood to be spilled,
A crown of thorns, must be fulfilled.
Choices made in haste, truth to conceal,
In the heart of darkness, what’s real?

[Chorus]
Here is your king, they cry, with voices loud,
But the stones fall silent, beneath the cloud.
A final act, in a fateful play,
Lost in the echoes of yesterday.

[Bridge]
Take him away, crucify his name,
A story of sorrow, of blame and shame.
No king but Caesar, their cry, their song,
In the halls of power, where rights go wrong.

[Outro]
Handed over in silence, the story persists,
In the sands of time, an unending list.
The stone pavement bears the weight of history,
A tale of pain, of lost majesty.
