Lyrics

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Feet touch stone

Bricks of ancient bone

Heavy as the lead

Where the quiet shadows feed

Pre-Chorus

Spiral rising high

Tearing through the purple sky

Gravity pulls down

Back into the sleeping town

Chorus

Staircase of dust

Every step returns to rust

Golden mirrors fade to black

No one ever turning back

Dust

Dust

We return to dust

Post-Chorus

Dust to dust

Ashes in the rust

Spinning is the wheel

Always back to dust

Verse 2

Face in glass

Watching centuries pass

Born from hollow air

Silver smoke inside your hair

Pre-Chorus

Spiral rising high

Tearing through the purple sky

Gravity pulls down

Back into the sleeping town

Chorus

Staircase of dust

Every step returns to rust

Golden mirrors fade to black

No one ever turning back

Dust

Dust

We return to dust

Guitar Solo

Bridge

Up becomes the down

Lost becomes the found

Nothing left remains

Not the blood

Not the light

Only dust and stains

Chorus

Staircase of dust

Every step returns to rust

Golden mirrors fade to black

No one ever turning back

Dust

Dust

We return to dust

Post-Chorus

Dust to dust

Ashes in the rust

Spinning is the wheel

Always back to dust
