Children Of Eden movie - Ring of Stones lyrics
rate me<br>
CAIN<br>
Abel! Momma! Poppa!<br>
Come, Abel, quick, Abel, wait 'til I show you what I found!<br>
<br>
ADAM<br>
Cain! Before you say another word--<br>
<br>
CAIN<br>
No, Poppa, now Poppa, it's a thing that will astound you!<br>
When I show you what I found, you won't believe!<br>
<br>
ADAM<br>
Eve!<br>
<br>
STORYTELLERS<br>
Over river wide and mountain tall<br>
They traveled far beyond the waterfall<br>
To a place and a day that would change them all<br>
In the wasteland<br>
<br>
ABEL<br>
What are they?<br>
<br>
CAIN<br>
Stones! It's a ring of giant stones!<br>
All of my life I think it's this I've been seeking<br>
Pent up inside me like an underground spring<br>
Finally a future, finally an answer<br>
Written in a ring of stone<br>
Finally proof of what I've always known:<br>
We are not alone<br>
Damned we may be<br>
But we are not alone<br>
<br>
EVE<br>
All of a sudden, I can feel the old tingling<br>
The urge to question, the itch to explore<br>
I feel it once more<br>
<br>
CAIN<br>
Stones the size of giants<br>
In a perfect circle<br>
<br>
EVE<br>
What could be their purpose<br>
What could be their meaning?<br>
<br>
CAIN<br>
In a perfect circle<br>
<br>
EVE<br>
How could they have raised them?<br>
<br>
ABEL<br>
Must have taken hundreds<br>
<br>
CAIN<br>
Stones the size of giants<br>
<br>
ABEL<br>
How long have they been here?<br>
Could we find the people?<br>
<br>
CAIN, EVE, AND ABEL<br>
Think about their knowledge, think about their science<br>
<br>
CAIN<br>
Think about their strength and skill<br>
Scary they may be but still<br>
I will never rest until <br>
<br>
CAIN, EVE, AND ABEL<br>
We have found these strange, bewildering<br>
People who would build a ring of giant stone<br>
<br>
CAIN<br>
All of my life I think it's this I've been seeking<br>
We are not alone<br>
<br>
ADAM<br>
The rain will be here soon<br>
We'd best get back to the shelter of our glen<br>
<br>
CAIN<br>
But...what about these people?<br>
<br>
ADAM<br>
We will never speak of them again<br>
<br>
EVE<br>
Adam!<br>
<br>
CAIN<br>
Poppa, listen to me. For once, listen!<br>
<br>
ADAM<br>
Tear it all down, is that what you want?<br>
Tear down everything we've worked to build<br>
Trust our lives to a bunch of ragged strangers<br>
You see the promise, Cain, but not the dangers<br>
<br>
You think they're so wise, you think they're so skilled<br>
But you've never heard them chanting in their ring of stones<br>
Never seen them dancing here among the bones<br>
Of a beast they've killed<br>
<br>
CAIN<br>
How do you know what they are?<br>
<br>
ADAM<br>
Because I've been here! I have seen them.<br>
<br>
EVE<br>
Adam!<br>
<br>
CAIN<br>
When were you here?<br>
<br>
ADAM<br>
The two of you were babies still<br>
A long, long time ago<br>
<br>
EVE<br>
You never told me.<br>
<br>
ADAM<br>
It was better not to know<br>
It would still be better not to know<br>
<br>
CAIN (simultaneously)<br>
All these years you've lied to us<br>
All these years denied to us our future<br>
<br>
EVE (simultaneously)<br>
All these years you never told, never discussed<br>
After all these years, couldn't you trust me?<br>
Couldn't you trust me?<br>
After all these years<br>
<br>
ADAM (simultaneously)<br>
We don't even know who their father was<br>
Would our Father feel betrayed?<br>
What if these are people he never made?<br>
After all these years, to lose the chance he might forgive<br>
<br>
ABEL (simultaneously)<br>
Everybody, stop fighting!<br>
<br>
EVE<br>
All I see is you are still afraid<br>
There was a time once, you were so brave then<br>
<br>
ADAM<br>
And look what we got, look what it brought us<br>
Look at the lesson our bravery taught us<br>
We are lost in the wilderness<br>
We belong out here in the wilderness<br>
<br>
CAIN<br>
Well then stay here forever!<br>
If that's how you want to live<br>
But Abel and I could find comrades and wives<br>
And learn what it is to have hope in our lives<br>
Be part of a tribe, part of a clan<br>
Not just one family<br>
But a family of man<br>
<br>
Come on, Abel!<br>
<br>
ADAM<br>
Abel! If you go now, you will never see me again.<br>
<br>
ABEL<br>
Oh Cain, please don't make me choose<br>
Either way, it's more than I could bear to lose<br>
Either way, it's ripping out my heart<br>
This choice is tearing me apart<br>
<br>
CAIN<br>
Is this what it means to be a father? <br>
Crushing the spirit of your children like an egg<br>
Is that what it means to be a father?<br>
Binding them to you with a chain around the leg!<br>
