Verse 1

The pictures are real,

I see what you feel,

Not much to say,

The rock will not give way.

The distance is clear,

Do I say what you hear?

Strike at the wall,

The rock will not give way.

Chorus 1

Were you meant to break this Heart of Stone?

Hidden away, somewhere, beyond, behind the soul.

Were you meant to break this Heart of Stone?

Giving way, could be crushed by the weight alone.

Verse 2

(It ain't enough to show.)

Day after day,

In the face of the strain,

The water holds

And the rock will not give way.

Stone by stone,

Watch the shelter erode,

The cracks may show,

But the rock will not give way.

Chorus 2

Were you meant to break this Heart of Stone?

Hidden away, somewhere, beyond, behind the soul.

Were you meant to break this Heart of Stone?

Giving way, could be crushed by the weight alone.

Bridge

Down, down,

Wear me down.

Walk away, or I'll turn around.

Down, down,

I'm worn down.

Falling just short of the breakdown.

Solo

Chorus 3

Were you meant to break this Heart of Stone?

Hidden away, somewhere, beyond, behind the soul.

Were you meant to break this Heart of Stone?

Giving way, could be crushed by the wait alone.

Bridge 2

Down, down,

Stare me down.

Turn away, or I'll walk around.

Down, down,

I'm worn down.

Falling just short of the breakdown.
