Dust and Ashes

[Verse]
The wind hums low it tells no lies
A vulture circles in the blackened skies
Dust in my throat and the sun's bitter bite
The ground cracks open it swallows the light

[Chorus]
Dust and ashes that's all we are
Chasing shadows under a dying star
We build our kingdoms we dig our graves
Dust and ashes we’re all just slaves

[Verse 2]
A rusted truck on a forgotten trail
The ghosts of dreams ride the evening gale
I carve my name on a hollow tree
But time’s sharp teeth still gnaw at me

[Prechorus]
I run from the silence but it always finds
A home in the corners of my restless mind

[Chorus]
Dust and ashes that's all we are
Chasing shadows under a dying star
We build our kingdoms we dig our graves
Dust and ashes we’re all just slaves

[Bridge]
The river runs dry the church bells fade
The preacher's words like a dull blade
In the mirror's glass I see the cost
The lines of time every battle lost
