Architects - Of Dust and Nations lyrics

The towers that shoulder your pride
The words you've written in stone
Sand will cover them, sand will cover you
The streets that suffer your name
Your very flesh and your bones
Sand will cover them, sand will cover you

So put your faith in more than steel
Don't store your treasures up
With moth and rust
Where thieves break in and steal
Pull the fangs from out your heel
We live in but a shadow of the real

Step out from time
And see the dust of nations
Step out from time
And hear the stars' ovation

Saturn will not sleep until the
Sand has made us clean


Still we stack our stones and
Bury what we can but it all will be undone
And nothing built under the sun
Will ever stand before the
Endless march of sand

So put your faith in more than steel
Don't store your treasures up
With moth and rust
Where thieves break in and steal
Pull the fangs from out your heel
We live in but a shadow of the real

So put your faith in more than steel
Don't store your treasures up
With moth and rust
Where thieves break in and steal
Pull the fangs from out your heel
We live in but a shadow of the real
