Lyrics:

Late at night
All alone
Where to find a place to hide
Put your head down
Put your head down

Calcutta
Why so blue
The man must do his work
Lifting rocks
Big enough
To really make it hurt

We work

[?Abandoned] children on the streets
And catch you unaware
The first stone cast
May be your last
And [???] it in your head

It was once said
Long ago
Thou must meet thy maker
But leave them alone
They have no home
And they really couldn’t help it

Animals wait
Darkness falls
Tongues [defection?]
But the stone man creeps while the city sleeps
Looking for his next victim

D is for death
L is for life
I know it's one or the other
But if you give the chance
To the stone man
You know he’s not gonna bother

You won’t even feel it
It’ll be over quick
When the rocks hit your head
Your brains, your eyes, your cranium bones
Will be all over your bed

So save some time
Straight for hell
Doing disaster's work
No one's safe when the stone man walks
The face of our earth

D is for death
L is for life
I know it's one or the other
But if you give your choice to the stone man
You know he’s not going to bother
Stone man
