about

This is our own rendition of this song by Audioslave. "Like A Stone" was originally released as the second single from their eponymous debut studio album "Audioslave" in January 2003.

The lyrics can be read on various levels. To me it speaks of solitude, death and final relief. Chris Cornell demonstrates once more his lyric-writing abilities by writing a story that is simultaneously beautiful and haunting.

We brought this song to a minimalist form to focus on the message.
We hope you'll like it this way.

lyrics

On a cobweb afternoon in a room full of emptiness
By a freeway, I confess I was lost in the pages
Of a book full of death, reading how we'll die alone
And if we're good, we'll lay to rest anywhere we want to go

In your house I long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there like a stone
I'll wait for you there alone

And on my deathbed I will pray to the gods and the angels
Like a pagan to anyone who will take me to heaven
To a place I recall, I was there so long ago
The sky was bruised, the wine was bled, and there you led me on

In your house I long to be
Room by room, patiently
I'll wait for you there like a stone
I'll wait for you there alone, alone

And on I read until the day was gone
And I sat in regret of all the things I've done
For all that I've blessed, and all that I've wronged
In dreams until my death I will wander on

In your house I long to be
Room by room, patiently
I'll wait for you there like a stone
I'll wait for you there alone, alone
