[haunting intro]
Across the weathered stones, down through the willow boughs
The wind carries secrets only the dead should know.
And there the whispers cry
ki-gal-šè, ki-gal-šè
ŋeš-tug-zu ki-gal-šè si
leading me where, I do not know

[verse]
I kneel among the stones
Close my eyes, and by and by
I feel you right there by my side
I tell you how my day was 
I tell you that I’m fine
But we both know that’s just a lie

[pre-chorus]
It’s so hard here without you
I feel it all falling apart
I wish I could be there with you
I just can’t take it anymore

[chorus][powerful]
Across the weathered stones 
Down through the willow boughs
The whispers cry
ki-gal-šè, ki-gal-šè
ŋeš-tug-zu ki-gal-šè si
leading me where, I do not know

[interlude][whispered]
ki-gal-šè, ki-gal-šè
ŋeš-tug-zu ki-gal-šè si

[verse]
Each day is a struggle 
And I’ll never be good enough
I feel so worthless, I’m all alone
Too scared to make a friend
And I’ll never make mother proud
I’d trade places with you if I could

[pre-chorus]
It’s so hard here without you
I feel it all falling apart
I wish I could be there with you
I just don’t want this anymore 

[chorus][powerful]
Across the weathered stones 
Down through the willow boughs
The whispers cry
ki-gal-šè, ki-gal-šè
ŋeš-tug-zu ki-gal-šè si
leading me where, I do not know

[verse]
Then you go silent
And I follow the whispers down
I see you in the shadows
But you’re nowhere to be found
The whispers guide me forward 
to a door made all of stone
There I find a secret
that only the dead should know

[pre-chorus]
It’s so hard here without you
I feel it all falling apart
I wish I could be there with you
I just can’t do this anymore

[chorus][powerful]
Across the weathered stones 
Down through the willow boughs
The whispers cry
ki-gal-šè, ki-gal-šè
ŋeš-tug-zu ki-gal-šè si
leading me where, I do not know

[outro][sad]
I wish I could be there with you
I just
can’t 
do this 
anymore

(ki-gal-šè)
