lyrics

This World is Made of Stone
And I Hold the Hammer

I am not a master of this form,
Nor the ruler of the land
But I have had the fortune to be born
With a hammer in my hand

This World is Made of Stone
And I Hold the Hammer

Your woods are lovely, dark and deep
But I have promises to keep, my friend
As long as I keep two in line, my step will ne'er be out of time
And this road will never end

This World is Made of Stone
And I hold the Hammer

I am not a master of this form,
Nor a ruler of the land
But I have had the fortune to be born
With a hammer in my hand

And this path is paved in living wood,
And it grows with me

This World is Made of Stone
And I Hold the Hammer
