You showed me your rock that you had just mined from the stone I was in awe at how bright it shone For such a small peice of a rock The jewel reflected your eyes
But when I touched such a rock It grew dull and mediocre And a fire burned the forest's hundred acre Trouble brewed inside Mr. Tick Tock I didn't dare do anything but stay away
And he said, "What a pretty rock, That I should lay my hands upon, Hands that stitch the moon upon my apron" But his eyes were bright and I could not knock For I knew that he was malevolence
He wanted the sacred jewel of a rock And she would not let him have the ice So he brought a knife and killed her with one slice Blood dripped down, past her knees into her sock And here lifless eyes stained my heart
"Your miner girl mines nothing but rock" He said with a smirk. The wizard spoke not in contempt "I promised her salvation, to who served me best." And I could no longer be held by gauntlets of rock "Salvation is not death, and she deserved better."
The devils foremen held up a finger holding the rock And he waved it in the air, tsking me with long whisps "Salvation not for her, but for you" his voice cracked like a whip And his cold voice penetrated my hearts lock I cried out with a force like no other in the world
I hurled myself out upon his hand with the rock The jewel of ice now becoming a blood red While it layed upon my body like death to a bed It began to speak, "I am not just a rock But I am much more so than that"
"I myself am but a diamond rock That is worth more to anyone that love But you showed me that when push comes to shove That I am worth nothing to you or these rocks But that I'm not a gift, but the true gift is love."
And while I layed their with my lovers sweet rock Layed upon my chest, I slowly closed my eyes And I began to think about just how much I despised That diamond my baby had found among the rock. And the foremen who had taken her life from my soul.
