Def Leppard

Def Leppard

Lyrics

Turn to Dust

[Verse 1]

The concentration drifts

In and out of me

Conversation slides away

Turn and face the change in apathy

Take a rise to fall

[Chorus]

Won't you save me?

Don't you blame me?

I got the feel that I'm gone, turn to dust

Sentence rape me

Segregate me

I got the fear that I am gone, turn to dust

[Verse 2]

Slave or sympathy it atrophies

Save the ancient hearts

Hiding scars and knives in symphonies

Still we rise to fall

[Chorus][x2]
