Night Settles

Dust circles Night unsettles A broken form Now, owns the horizon A perfect storm Searching for...needing an origin Tears risen Fears driven Into a dream To the end of all reason A wind so warm To capture beauty like a prison Chorus Riches come fast But it’s all gold dust What lies in your rubble What truth do you resemble When we know everything There is to know about everything ‘cos your pillars are still standin’ But we can’t reach an understanin’ So we much on Down memory lane To shattered homes Where we’re unknown...this stormy season A soul with no name On the verge of self-destruction Life’s golden syrup Some joy still irrupts Spreading life’s flow...stealing love's glow Now about to drop Our death trap Onto the unforgiving cold floor! Chorus Riches come fast But it’s all gold dust What lies in your rubble What truth do you resemble When we know everything There is to know about everything ‘cos your pillars are still standin’ But we can’t reach an understanin’ Unearth my fossils My wealth you shovel Decode my DNA...my hidden memory I turned to stone Oh, I returned to dust...a wasted legacy Riches come fast But it’s all gold dust Cities of gold, cities of old! What lies in your rubble What truth do you resemble Your salt runs into the ground In your twisted games...you turned around! Dust circles Night settles Inspired by Prime Circle's – Let the night in
