A statement of empathy for and solidarity with those that have spent too much of their lives mourning loved ones lost. Too many days, and nights in graveyards. Too much time in churches, faithless, yet still there to pray.

LYRICS

we come from the river, moonlight in our eyes
we stand and deliver, your righteous denial
oh lord we know, the words on the stone
the winds of december, will cut to your bones
~
let go your misgivings, all pale shades of blue
give thanks for the living, so simple but true
and the faith that we sold, for a few pieces of gold
now when we go hungry, we go not alone
~
we fight for the honor, to tell you sweet lies
the sins of the father, the son must deny
and now we know, the words on the stone
the winds of december, will lead you back home.

oh god I remember, the words on the stone
the winds of december, will cut to your bones.
