Carved Stone
from L3DLP plays music sometimes · host L3DLP
Written at 16, becoming music at 46, Carved Stone is a song about power, class contempt, and the lonely feeling of trying to move a world that was shaped before you had a say. But it’s also about refusing to stay alone. --- When I think of those who reign, Those who claim they can decide our fate, Rulers of society's game, Choosing paths that they dictate. When I see the bourgeois pride, Pitying the poor with scornful eyes, Their contempt they cannot hide, As beggars they criticize. When I ponder all their wealth, Chic illusions that catch every gaze, Merely facades of stealthy stealth, Revealing their careless ways. Why must I stand alone, In shifting their carved stone? By myself, I can't dethrone The minds that turn to bone. How can we change this scene? Words alone can't intervene. If none will join the fray, Our causes fade away. We must unite, take a stand, To lend a truly helping hand. Enough of empty talk, Let's walk the walk of brotherhood's command.
