For One of Their Stones

Keith Landry

O my brother
Where did you go?
Down to the river
To beg for your soul?
Did anyone see you?
Did you go there alone?
What did you offer
For one of their stones?

O my brother
Is there any way out?
Of the deal they offered?
Did they leave any doubt?
O my brother
Where did you go?
Down to the river
To beg for your soul?

Make me a promise
‘Cuz I need you to say
If you survive this
You’ll walk away
