Dust To Dust

Dust From Dust Carve the stone that forms the jewel From Cities dust to Countries rule Fake or genuine none shall tell The integrity of fellow man Beast to burden Man so unkind Loyalty so rare to find Beneath the rubble of falling lives The destructive weapon, the knowing lies Before I cave, lose my belief Before from the mountain top I leap Into the gaping vast below I seek reprieve from those I know Tell me there are gem's to find Salt of the earth The staying kind Don't let the minefield be owned to war Bring back the good old days Like we knew before Feel Water from the eyes of God A simple prayer, a knowing nod Clothe the world in love and trust Not clothes of a diamond's deathly dust
