lyrics

Lying In The Dust: Phil Smith


Well you gave all your plans away to the wind
In your worry and in you’re haste
Did your mother not tell you that counting your sins
Is such an obvious mistake?


Now you’re lost in your mind, and the answers you find
Leave you running from mystery
Though you’re stubborn and proud
Did your father not teach you that always
There’s questions you need to be asking

Chorus
When there’s nothing left to take
When the riches you hoard become worthless
When your towers of steel turn into rust
Then the wars lost, and the battles you think you won,
Will leave you defeated
Lying in the dust

Now the crowd’s at your door though you built up these walls
To protect what is yours and worth keeping
But you’re dead without love, and these bricks ain’t enough to protect you
All this concrete and glass, and the conquerors mask
That you wear ‘til you end up believing
That your protest is fair, you take more than your share
And like a junkie, you hope the next hit will stop you from feeling

Chorus
When there’s nothing left to take
When the riches you hoard become worthless
When your towers of steel turn into rust
Then the wars lost, and the battles you think you won,
Will leave you defeated
Lying in the dust
