all the lies aside
we gasp the same air tonight
reading the burdened signs
we all die sometimes

swept in dust we are
swept in black i am

searching what's left,
i reflect my trails
when we've collided,
you've put me down to sleep
something so pure,
fragile and feeble
craving attention,
fly high and sink deep

i am the victim of your greed

swept in dust we are
swept in black i am
swept in dirt we are
swept in black i am

your arrow i will be
in this life of belief
we'll find a way to go to sleep
forever taking me in
