she was a stone 
yeah, a castle 
made of granite 
and where she walked 
was only death 
and only she could tame it 

her eyes like smoke 
would swallow any mountain 
and when she spoke 
the words were like fire 
and all who heard 
fell silent in her wake 

she was a star 
yes, 
a fiery drone of matter 
and where she shone 
was only warmth 
and life rose up to love her 

her hair like gold 
would fall upon her shoulders 
but if she moves 
to face your soul 
your heart will turn to stone 

she will rise 
she will rise 
she will rise 
from heavenly dust 

for the blood 
of the scum 
and the filth 
who've stolen her trust 

gather up 
gather up 
gather up 
your sorrow and woe 

for the sins 
of the past 
with her hate 
she'll never let go, 
she'll never let go
