Staring Down the Dust

Staring down the dust

Shooting the arrow of death

Mourning a paradise lost

Sing with me under your breath

Take me through the garden

Take me through the dark

Baby, beg your pardon

Keep me from coming apart

Swinging off the chain

Facing the firing line

Who will remember your name

Drowning the ashes in wine

Staring down the dust

Walking all alone

Take it as far as you must

Take mine and clear the bone

Oh

I can't quiet my mind

I wouldn't tell no lie

Staring down the dust

Kissing the angel of death

Praying your will isn't crushed

Singing it under your breath

Staring down the dust

Mourning a paradise lost

Shooting the arrow of death

Sing with me under your breath

I can't quiet my mind

I wouldn't tell no lie

Staring down the dust
