Thrice Lyrics
"Of Dust And Nations"

The towers that shoulder your pride,
The words you've written in stone.
Sand will cover them, sand will cover you.
The streets that suffer your name,
Your very flesh and your bones,
Sand will cover them, sand will cover you.

So put your faith in more than steel,
Don't store your treasures up, with moth and rust,
Where thieves break in and steal.
pull the fangs from out your heel,
We live in but a shadow of the real.

Step out from time, see the dust of nations.
Step out from time, hear the stars ovation.

Saturn will not sleep until, the sand has made us clean
Still we stack our stones and bury what we can
But it all will be undone, nothing built under the sun
Will ever stand before the endless march of sand

So put your faith in more than steel,
Don't store your treasures up, with moth and rust,
Where thieves break in and steal.
pull the fangs from out your heel,
We live in but a shadow of the real.

So put your faith in more than steel,
Don't store your treasures up, with moth and rust,
Where thieves break in and steal.
pull the fangs from out your heel,
We live in but a shadow of the real.
