Daily Dose 6/24 Audioslave - Like A Stone

“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”

Audioslave - Like A Stone

The first song I heard from Audioslave was on the radio. It was the song Cochise, and I sarcastically thought “Wow, it sounds just like Rage Against The Machine and Chris Cornell….oooh, big deal.” And then I heard Like A Stone and I was quite impressed. I never thought the Rage guys could pull off a slow song like that and Chris Cornell’s voice, as usual adds beautifully to the mix.

Audioslave - Like A Stone Lyrics

On a cold wet 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
