Dust Lyrics

Because these lines are dead before they're born.
Because I don't walk the way of the world
Brother, would you hold my cross?
Because my knowledge is nailed to the wall
I'm watching life pass from my bedroom floor
Sister, would you hold my cross?
Sister, would you hold my cross?

I'm the dust upon my name
I'm the dust upon my name
I'm the dust upon my name
Won't let you shine

Just when the war drums are hammering my head
Hundreds of white bright pigeons are released,
Dropping olive branches on me
The final curtain will never be raised.
Because my bones will be seed for the rain
I will bloom inside your head
I will bloom inside your head

I'm the dust upon my name
I'm the dust upon my name
I'm the dust upon my name
Won't let you shine
I'm the dust upon my name
I'm the dust upon my name
I'm the dust upon my name
Won't let you shine
Show me just one reason
Not to let you down again.
I am with my people
From the ashes my rebirth

I'm the dust upon my name
Won't let you shine
