back to stone

**(Verse 1)**
We trace the geometry of shooting stars
And build our temples out of steel and cars
Searching the ether for a sacred sign
Forgetting the magic in the design
But the deepest truth isn’t high in the air
It’s the silent dust floating everywhere
**(Chorus)**
Back to the water, back to the stone
This is the only true temple we’ve known
Fire and wind, the dirt and the sea
The highest state of divinity
Before the thought, before the spark
We are the light returning to the dark
Oh, we come from the earth, we return to the earth
**(Verse 2)**
We chase the abstract in a crowded mind
Leaving the architecture far behind
But a forest floor holds a deeper code
Than any map or any winding road
To breathe the wind and to feel the rain
Is to break the link of the mental chain
**(Chorus)**
Back to the water, back to the stone
This is the only true temple we’ve known
Fire and wind, the dirt and the sea
The highest state of divinity
Before the thought, before the spark
We are the light returning to the dark
Oh, we come from the earth, we return to the earth
**(Bridge)**
It’s not a mystery you have to solve
Just watch the seasons and the world evolve
The elements are holding every key
The simplest form of philosophy
**(Chorus)**
Back to the water, back to the stone
This is the only true temple we’ve known
Fire and wind, the dirt and the sea
The highest state of divinity
Before the thought, before the spark
We are the light returning to the dark
Oh, we come from the earth, we return to the earth
**(Outro)**
Just sink your feet into the ground
Listen close to the silent sound
That’s where it all begins
That’s where it all begins
