Carve Away The Stone

Words by Neil Peart, Music by Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson

You can roll that stone

To the top of the hill

Drag your ball and chain

Behind you

You can carry that weight

With an iron will

Or let the pain remain

Behind you

Chip away the stone

(Sisyphus)

Chip away the stone

Make the burden lighter

If you must roll that rock alone

You can drive those wheels

To the end of the road

You will still find the past right

Behind you

The weight of the load

Try to put the sins of the past night

Behind you

Carve away the stone

(Sisyhpus)

Carve away the stone

Make a graven image

With some features of your own

You call roll the stone

To the top of the hill

You can carry that weight

With an iron will

You can drive those wheels

To the end of the road

You can try to deny

The weight of the load

Roll away the stone

(Sisyhpus)

Roll away the stone

If you could just move yours

I could get working on my own
