tele
[verse 1]
Metamorphic rocks demand attention
Uplift prepares their grand ascension
Foliating, they erode away
In my veins
A mineral array
[chorus]
Buried down beneath the earth
Pressure and fire giving birth
Lineated beyond recognition
Subject to our metamorphism
[verse 2]
Marble forms, creatures long dead,
Fossils found, slate widely spread
Diagenesis shows we’re almost there,
Diamonds formed in the volcanic layer
[guitar solo]
[chorus]
Buried down beneath the earth
Pressure and fire giving birth
Lineated beyond recognition
Subject to our metamorphism
[guitar solo]
[bridge]
Through the epochs and the ages our monolith forms
Miles below, the rock slowly warms
Changing slowly through recrystallization
Eradicating traces of lithification
To natures rules we're all complying
Sedimentary rocks solidifying
[chorus]
Buried down beneath the earth
Pressure and fire giving birth
Lineated beyond recognition
Subject to our metamorphism
