Lyrics

[Written by Briody & Conklin] Once long ago I believed in dreams, once long ago I relied on faith Dreams fade to dust and blow away Faith withers in the hot sun of mid-day I starve this vessel and I pray No, nothing wipes the filth away, cleanse my spirit All sins were born into our veins No blood can wash them all away Though all my tears may cause a flood I receive no healing from above Ashes to ashes, dust to dust...Cleanse my spirit From Adam we were made to lust Consuming pleasures born to us Release my spirit like a dove Return to once that was above With this blood I cleanse the earth Take my soul for what it's worth Though all my tears may cause a flood I receive no healing from above Ashes to ashes, dust to dust .
