Alice on the Stone

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Alice walked in white Over the red clay floor Hands tied tight, head high Still she wanted more They lit up the chapel With a blade in the air I heard them call her name Like they thought she was there [Pre-Chorus] Oh, she did not run Oh, she did not plead She looked right through them all Like she knew what they’d need [Chorus] Alice on the stone Alice on the stone They call it holy fire But it burns like home Alice on the stone Alice on the stone Say her name again Then leave her bones alone [Verse 2] Candles on the floorboards Blood in the crack of wood A ring of rusted faces Saying this is good I saw her mouth move slow Like she cursed their gate And every hand that lifted Met a colder fate [Pre-Chorus] Oh, she did not run Oh, she did not plead She looked right through them all Like she knew what they’d need [Chorus] Alice on the stone Alice on the stone They call it holy fire But it burns like home Alice on the stone Alice on the stone Say her name again Then leave her bones alone [Bridge] Now the chapel’s empty But the air still stings Some girls are a warning Some girls wear the kings [Final Chorus] Alice on the stone Alice on the stone They call it holy fire But it burns like home Alice on the stone Alice on the stone Say her name again Then leave her bones alone
