Born a child of the night and that stain taints forever
Black of heart and the dark is the one place you treasure

There is not one legend who has wasted life

Wishing worth beyond earth is absurd in the never
Death won't die

So close to heaven
And so damn far from God
Lost to the shadows, just ashes in the dust

He will creep as you sleep
Take your dreams and debase them
Traumatised, your demise is his prize when awakened

There is not one legend who'd not realised

The deceased find no peace in the place where he takes them

So close to heaven
And so damn far from God
Lost to the shadows, just ashes in the dust

The wind's an omen
One soul is stolen
The wind's an omen
One soul is gone

So close to heaven
And so damn far from God
Lost to the shadows, just ashes in the dust
So close to heaven
And so damn far from God
Lost to the shadows, just ashes in the dust

Dragging down is effortless
Lifting up takes love
Dragging down is effortless
Welcome to the dust
