Music by Lee and Lifeson Lyrics by Peart

If we burn our wings
Flying too close to the sun
If the moment of glory is over before it's begun
If the dream is won-
Though everything is lost
We will pay the price,
But we will not count the cost

When the dust has cleared
And victory denied
A summit too lofty
River a little too wide
If we keep our pride-
Though paradise is lost
We will pay the price,
But we will not count the cost

And if the music stops
There's only the sound of the rain
All the hope and glory
All the sacrifice in vain
If love remains
Though everything is lost
We will pay the price,
But we will not count the cost



Thats where the inscription comes from.

2 reasons spring to mind for the placing of the headstone

1st the person in question may have drowned in the area
2nd they may have thrown themselves from the cliff above.

Only 2 reasons I can think of why some one placed a headstone in that position

how high does the tide come in there? Could it have been floated into place on a raft or something? Maybe it was set there on cement but the cement has long since eroded and the stone has sagged and cracked?
