The Stone Dome Stands

[Verse] A coastal town's embrace Sun kissed the azure waves The heart of Šibenik calls Where ancient craftsmen paved In the heart of the old square Stands James's quiet pride Where stones are stacked so high And whispers never lied [Verse 2] Forty men of craft and toil The dome they did define With hands worn by the sea and sun They raised the grand design Each chisel to the limestone Each strike a tale retold In silence built the beacon Of beauty strong and bold [Chorus] Oh The stone dome stands Above the quiet land Echoes of those masters' hands United in a plan From sea to shining dome The stories find their home In every carved-out credit The heart of Šibenik roams [Verse 3] The cupola in glory glowed As seagulls circled high With every curve a memory Of hearts that reached the sky The sun filters through stained glass A rainbow on the floor Moments within the marbles Speak of silent oaths they swore [Bridge] Generations pass and fade But the stone retains its grace Each layer of the past remains A guardian of this place A dome like ancient poetry Above the azure foam Whispers to the wandering Šibenik’s stony poem [Chorus] Oh The stone dome stands Above the quiet land Echoes of those masters' hands United in a plan From sea to shining dome The stories find their home In every carved-out credit The heart of Šibenik roams
