Eyes of stone, yet I see
Ears of stone, yet I hear
Feet of stone, I am still
Heart of stone, yet I feel
Every second, ticking away
Day fades to night, back to day
Creatures come and stop and stare
Not a one knows I'm there
Was it worth it? I must ask
Though mouth of stone will do no task
My revenge, my rule, my crime, my fun
Now I'm bound 'neath burning sun
Eyes of stone, I see it all
Ears of stone, I hear it all
Feet of stone, still I'll stay
Heart of stone, night and day
Creatures come and stop and stare
Not a one cares I'm there
I feel my freedom ebbing near
Not soon enough, I must fear
Mind of stone, and yet I think
I plot, I scheme, my mercy shrinks
I scream and plead, through mouth of stone
Please don't leave me all alone
On garden's path I stand guard
Changing form now still and hard
I swear my enemy shall never beat
Me again, when next we meet
Freedom's such a fickle thing
When it's there, you soar and sing
Perhaps quick revenge was not best
So soon I'm back to stonebound rest
I scream and plead through mouth of stone
My mind cries out, I'm all alone
I feel my freedom ebbing near
Please, just GET ME OUTTA HERE!

Wow! This piece is so moody and evocative. I can smell the stone dust and despair.
