Kim about ‘Stones and Bones’
I saw some words, an amazing poem that I read, and this is when I was doing Instagram, or Twitter. [It was] a poem that Navalny had written from in jail to his wife Yulia. So that’s where this song comes from. It’s a love song. From him to her. (1)

Lyrics
Standing here
Look at me locked in this insanity
Questioning the meaning to be human
We knew the ending was moving nearer
We stood together and showed them no fear
Though many thousands of miles between us stand
You hear me calling you
Deep in the earth with the stones and bones
Words from my soul remind you, find you
Know in your veins that you’re not alone
With the sunset, I will take you home
Howl through the storm while I call your name (I call your name)
Rage at thе snow that blinds you (blinds you)
Laugh in their face, nevеr show them your pain
The eagle soon will rise again
Oh oh oh
Fear no more
Evil dies (Evil dies)
Watch it burn before our eyes
Universal nemesis taken over
A new beginning is moving closer
Don’t be fooled if you think it’s over
So many lessons we never seem to learn
I still believe in you
Deep in the earth with the stones and bones
Words from my soul remind you, find you
Know in your veins that you’re not alone
With the sunset, I will take you home
Howl through the storm while I call your name (I call your name)
Rage at the snow that blinds you (blinds you)
Laugh in their face, never show them your pain (never show your pain)
The eagle soon will rise again
I look behind your eyes
There’s a warrior inside
I will never question why
I will never say goodbye
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Howl through the storm while I call your name (call your name)
Rage at the snow that blinds you (blinds you)
Laugh in their face, never show them your pain
The eagle soon will rise again
Deep in the earth with the stones and bones
