In the Dust Lyrics

Self made, strong willed and treading the pathways of kings

Where quality is secondary to excess

Blind to the real dimensions of things

Ever the entertainer, compelled to put on a show of force

Ramming through open doors

Souls, gentle and frail

Shielded away

Destined to reign

Over these lands

While we remain

Roam their terrain

Nursing the strain

Numbing the pain

We can see you through the cracks in your story line

Looking frail and nursing a void

I doubt it would take much more than

A gentle nudge to demolish your world

How long till you're found face down

In the dust by the side of the road

With life's boot prints adorning your face

And a spine broken under its load

Souls, gentle and frail

Shielded away

Destined to reign

Over these lands

While we remain

Roam their terrain

Nursing the strain

Numbing the pain

You're walking tall but you're thinking small

Internally you're in a state of total chaos and disarray

But can't bring yourself to admit your impending defeat

Avert your gaze from the promise of heaven above

And look down at the earth shaking under your feet

Souls, gentle and frail

Shielded away

Destined to reign

Over these lands

While we remain

Roam their terrain

Nursing the strain

Numbing the pain
