Colin has said that there is no one right interpretation of the song, however a close listen suggests an extension of the metaphor" when all you have is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail": When all you have is a weapon, everything looks like a battle to be won.

Cutting Stone Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Dreamed I had a cutting stone
Dreamed I held it all my own
It cut through wire, wood, and bone
I'll cut you down, my cutting stone
[Chorus]
Cutting stone oh fear me none
Whether wild or whether won
Though I travel far from home
I'll always have my cutting stone
[Verse 2]
Wandering, I chanced upon
A wayward child lost anon
And when he laid across my chest
My cutting stone it did the rest
[Chorus]
Cutting stone oh fear me none
Whether wild or whether won
Though I travel far from home
I'll always have my cutting stone
[Verse 3]
In a valley green and wide
A suitor wept for a dying bride
And when he turned his eyes on me
A cutting stone did set him free
[Chorus]
Cutting stone oh fear me none
Whether wild or whether won
Though I travel far from home
I'll always have my cutting stone
[Chorus]
Cutting stone oh fear me none
Whether wild or whether won
Though I travel far from home
I'll always have my cutting stone
[Verse 4]
There upon a mountaintop
I looked down on to what I'd wrought
And when I saw my labors through
I cut my cutting stone in two
[Chorus]
Cutting stone oh fear me none
Whether wild or whether won
Though I travel far from home
I'll always have my cutting stone
I'll always have my cutting stone
I'll cut you down, my cutting stone
