[INTRO] [VERSE 1] I walked the ridge where no crow follows Where granite splits from ancient freeze The moon a bone hung in the black Bleaching what the eye can't seize Below the valley of dead fires Where clans laid steel in river clay Now only root and rot and oxygen And ghosts who have no word for "stay" [VERSE 2] The mountain spoke in shifting stonefall A tongue of pressure, age, and weight It said: "You were not first to suffer Nor last to curse the hands of fate" I pressed my palm against the lichen Felt the centuries breathe and turn The lesson buried in the permafrost: What does not bend is what you learn [CHORUS] Where the stone remembers Blood We walk the old passes Unseen… unbowed Where the stone remembers And the sun won't fall The oath outlasts The last of all [VERSE 3] They built their gods of gold and paper Cathedrals hollow, hymns rehearsed We kept the faith in frozen iron In wounds that opened and then closed first No scripture justified the winter No savior came to lift the snow Only the grip on frosted branches Only the will to rise and go [BRIDGE] I buried names in unmarked clearings Where saplings grow what men cannot The forest keeps a different ledger Not of deeds but of what was not forgot [CHORUS] Where the stone remembers Blood We walk the old paths Unseen… unsought Where the stone remembers No hymns remain Only the wind And those who came © 2026 - skvadMC
