Stone Kingdom
Karl OskarFor the past three yearsI've been listening to the tuneOf my crowbar striking another stoneThe bitter song of Korpamoen
This is my domainI'm the ruler of the landCome behold my royal kingdomAnd my subjects
Rock and rubble, grain and gravel,stone and shingle
KristinaTurn Your Grace upon us, LordAnd protect our crops from ruin and decayGive us bread this dayGrant us now our harvestThrough Christ Almighty,our Lord King in Heaven. Amen.
Wait...and listen to me, please...
Karl OskarWhat's the matter, something wrong?
KristinaI keep thinking about us...the children going hungry
Karl OskarI don't think I understand
KristinaWell, it's just that...if we don't...then there'll be no new little mouths to feed
Karl OskarSo you would want us to denyThe joy of love, the sweetest joys forsakingNot to touch, or feel you, as years pass us byAnd soon they go! Too soon they fly!
BothI feel you breathing peacefullyThe two of us at rest when day is breakingAll my heart I give you and all my life throughAnd where you go I go with you
