Deathtouch

Moments fleeting
Recall lost
Awake or sleeping?
Reminiscence fading out

An idealist fantasy
So drunk upon the sweet nectar
Of euphoric denial

And you'll sift through the ashes
Of the want and the lust
And you'll find as time disaligns
And the past is crushed...
Memory turns to dust
The memory turns to dust
Through the want and the lust
You'll try to deny the demise
In the end was just
So memory turns to dust

Mirrored anguish
As a gaze of pain
Projects a reflection just as broken
As the source

And you'll sift through the ashes
Of the want and the lust
And you'll find as time disaligns
And the past is crushed...
Memory turns to dust
The memory turns to dust
Through the want and the lust
You'll try to deny the demise
In the end was just
So memory turns to dust

Seek to find, yet never see
Puerility justified
To fight all belief

And you'll pick up the pieces
Of the love and the trust
And the mind, by design, becomes blind
And confined by disgust...
So memories turn to dust...
You'll find as time disaligns
And the past is crushed...
Memories turn to dust

Turn to dust
The memory turns to dust
We turn to dust
