Lyrics White Stone - Funeral Mist

White Stone

Numbered, weighed, and found wanting…
A white stone and a new name
At peace with the lord and freed from blame
All debts remitted, thy should washed clean
O glorious splendours of the rebirth
…But that stone is a lump of coal
For thou hadst a whore’s forehead
Thou refusedst to be ashamed
A white stone and a new name
Restoring the years that the locust have eaten
Again clean enough to speak his name
Oh happy vantage of a kneeling knee
…But that name is a ghost unseen
For thou hadst a whore’s forehead
Thou refusedst to be ashamed
Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin…
Thou refusedst to be ashamed
Numbered, weighed, and found wanting…
A white stone and a new name
Thy lamp removed from the altar of shame
But that name is a ghost unseen
For thou hadst a whore’s forehead
Thou refusedst to be ashamed
