roll away the stone

I honestly didn't hear of Mumford and Sons until I saw them with Dylan at the Grammys. I am sitting here about to go to bed after finishing my final paper of the semester celebrating with a little bit of folk rock. Nobody can jam on an acoustic guitar like them... well maybe the Avett Bros. Here are the lyrics to a striking and very seasonal song for us... Enjoy.

By the way - shout out to Jim Reilly from Tabernacle UMC for having a straight connection to the blog from his Ipod Touch!

Roll away your stone, I’ll roll away mine
Together we can see what we can find
Don’t leave me alone at this time,
For I am afraid of what I will discover inside
You told me that I would find a home,
Within the fragile substance of my soul
And I have filled this void with things unreal,
And all the while my character it steals

The darkness is a harsh term don’t you think?
And yet it dominates the things I seek
It seems as if all my bridges have been burned,
You say that’s exactly how this grace thing works
It’s not the long walk home that will change this heart,
But the welcome I receive at the restart

The darkness is a harsh term don’t you think?
And yet it dominates the things I seek
The darkness is a harsh term don’t you think?
And yet it dominates the things I seek
The darkness is a harsh term don’t you think?
And yet it dominates the things I seek

Stars hide your fires,
And these here are my desires
And I will give them up to you this time around
And so, I’ll be found with my steak stuck in this ground
Marking its territory of this newly impassioned soul
But you, you’ve come too far this time
You have neither reason nor rhyme
With which to take this soul that is so rightfully mine
