"The Duty Of Dust" lyrics
"The Duty Of Dust"
Knees are grazed digging soil for the soul
Nails are cracked by the widening hole
And the clouds pour in, to the silent blue
Warm pool of memories lost
It is the duty of dust
To remind us that which must
Never, ever, be forgotten
The trance of fire we never tire
Bright knives of memories, memories now lost
Knees are grazed digging soil for the soul
Nails are cracked by the widening hole
And the clouds pour in, to the silent blue
Warm pool of memories lost
Call out to the empty street and ask where it's going
And if you're welcome, welcome all that it holds
This song of memories lost, it is the twilight
Mood music of ancient, ancient stories told
Remind me of our time
With your wonderful dark breath
Tuning to waves from distant suns
You see, now, where we have gone?
Drowning in memories lost
It is the duty of dust
To remind us that which must
Never, ever, be forgotten

Arion - "You're My Melody" Late at night no one's around
Take off the mask and lose the crown
Feeling helpless and so alone

Within Temptation - "Shot In The Dark" I've been left out alone like a damn criminal
I've been praying for help cause I can't take it all

And I'm desperately...
Demons & Wizards - "Fiddler On The Green" Sad voices they're calling
Our precious girl she can't be gone
How bitter this morning
When daddy's darling
Went out and started her day
Wasn't there a dream last night
Like a spring never ending...
