Strangers - Vulture Industries

By hammer, by chisel

By brute force, by missile

You cannot break through this wall

Hammers keep pounding

Barrages resounding

But nothing can bring it to fall

Dim and ghostly in parts

Turns to solid and stark

How it glitters like gold

Kept by the fold

As it passes through temple and palace

It becomes us from birth

As we learn all its words

Shadow keepers abound

One and all bound

To keep painting stranger faces

To keep painting stranger faces

While learning the way home

By hammer, by chisel

By brute force, by missile

You cannot break through this wall

Hammers keep pounding

Barrages resounding

But nothing can bring it to fall

Can bring down the wall
