    "Roll Away Your Stone" is the fourth single by London rock quartet, Mumford & Sons, taken from their debut album, Sigh No More. It was released as a digital download on 3 June 2010 and was the third and final single released from Sigh No More in the United States on 7 June 2011.[1] The song begins with an instrumental version of the Irish jig, "Merrily Kissed the Quaker". The song appeared in the 2012 documentary film, Kony 2012.

    The song includes a reference to Macbeth. The repeated line, "stars hide your fires," is also spoken by Macbeth, who conceals his ambition for the throne in Act 1 of the play.
