Long ago my old man told me a story
He said: 'This was once a great land with men of glory'
In the end they'd slowly fade away

Of miracles and rust but we are just shadows and dust
Forever, forever

Time has passed, days go by but it's getting hazy
Spend my nights, talking with the ghost of Mary
In the end I'll slowly fade away

Diamonds never rust, but we are just shadows and dust
Forever, forever

We are just shadows and dust, nothing but shadows and dust
Forever.
