Rope and Ladder - Dust lyrics

Artist: Rope and Ladder

album: Rope and Ladder


I built my faith from ground up
I laid every stone
I stood on it through storm and wind
To see if it could hold
I built my whole life all by the sweat of my face
I hand-picked every brick that I laid
I built the trust and reverence of man
With bloodshed and bare hands
I stood alongside them so we
Could lean on our shoulders and
Hold each other up
When the winds and waves got rough
I built my whole love out of everything I had left
I gave her everything I had left
Everything I had, everything I was
Holds nothing in size to what I would become
With my faith, friends, life, and love building me up
But all I've made and am made of
It all collapsed to ash at once
It's gone
It's dust
It's all dust
It's all it ever was
It's dust
It's all dust
It's all it was
I tried to build a better man, but
I was piling sand ashore a rising tide
And all I could do
Was watch it wash away
A little every day
I was never up to me to decide
No matter how you fortify
You live, you love, you die
All you get to leave behind
Are all your ashes in a pile
It's gone
It's dust
It's all dust
It's all it ever was
It's dust
It's all dust
It's all it was
If it's all dust
My body and blood
God and a heaven above
And unconditional love
Then this is all dust
My pain and my pride
These walls which confine
And all I'll need is time
Time is all I have
I will see to my rise
I will hunt what is mine
And I will take it all back!
