[Verse] The earth it groans beneath my feet Whispers secrets I cannot meet Roots are tangled in the dust of time Every step feels like a crime [Prechorus] Breathing in the ancient air Life and loss are tangled there [Chorus] Still to dirt we all return Ashes cool where fires burn A cycle spinning Slow and stern Still to dirt Still to dirt [Verse 2] Mountains crumble into sand Rivers carve the aching land Fingers dig but can’t escape We’re molded in this earthen shape [Prechorus] Flesh and stone will meet as one Underneath the setting sun [Chorus] Still to dirt we all return Ashes cool where fires burn A cycle spinning Slow and stern Still to dirt Still to dirt
