Ash And Dust Lyrics

Beyond the wall and back again

From the dust, to dust again

It's always out of reach

The gate is shut, a clouded lens

Lost communion, severance

The Gaoler gorges on the light

The wall of sleep is ripped away

As screaming engines spit and spray

Ye bile-mouthed, from coffin rise

And wipe the sleep from out your eyes

Never leaving

Always breathing

All this soot, and smoke, and rust

Toxic air of ash and dust

Ash and dust

Ash and dust

Ash and dust

The pistons pump, the draglines tow

Vile vessels, spewing smoke

In rancid plumes of pallid death

In endless veins of languid woe

Phlegethonic crystal flows

A pulse, the death-blood trickles down

Again, again, go down below

To raze the land the fuel must flow

In fear we'd steer the master's hand

We forge our hell at thy command

Hands are seething

Lungs are heaving

Piloting this putrid, bloody husk

Ash to ash and dust to dust

Ash and dust

Ash and dust

Ash and dust
