The Dust That Remains
Lyrics by Juha Untinen
The dust flows around in the air They are the remains of what once were Particles of life, broken down to disappear No more, no less, yet still remains a void Given time, perhaps one day it can implode again A total silence A darkened existence An eerie dust covers the scene Faint crackling of things coming apart There is a serene peace throughout the face of the earth Where the wind blows and flattens the carbon figures A new life forms from the scattered pieces But who can be sure, perhaps the cycle repeats The emptiness that fills the void The screaming sounds of silence The air filled by nothingness The nothingness filled with air The sun turns red by the powdered iron flakes of men The air turns to steel by the decayed remains of machines
