Bits or Stone - Music/lyrics by Bruno
Standing in the shadow of a giant
Looking to the night time stars
Carves a silhouette in to the distance
History written, wide and far
The story known, but long forgotten
But faces of the people know
Part of all that stand before it
Dust to dust, stone to stone
It takes your breath, the size, its beauty
Not made of man, not long ago
Life on the edge, its quite a gamble
A loaded die? Who really knows?
So many lives, so many stories
An open book? But how to read?
A frozen second, so full of terror
Encased in stone for all to see
Life was ordered, it seemed quite normal
We lived it well, it was our creed
This was our time, this was our moment
A pyroclastic joke, you see
The switch was flicked, caught unaware
I guess we should have cottoned on
But we lived in the shadow of the giant
And it proved to be way to strong
And here we stand in all our grandeur
Technology defines our world
What have we learned from all this madness
History repeats, it always will
Live life well, we are a moment
We're passing through, don't be alone
And far into the dim and distant
Will our memory be bits or stone?
