I am part of Adam created on day six
With a handful of dirt and the breath of God
The apple of temptation still lures me like a snake
Defiance is our thread and faith our rock
I'm mortal now, so little time to learn
God made us out of dust and to dust we shall return
Our kiss was brand new ground, we were a garden green
Filled with promises that both of us broke
And like Adam and Eve, thrown out of paradise
The gates to our forever were closed
Wasted love's that cold, dark hell that burns
God made us out of dust and to dust we shall return
CHORUS:
We shall return to dust where we came from
We shall return to dust when it's all said and done
I can't last a thousand years; I'll have my time to die
But it feels like waking death with you gone
Broken parts of heaven are falling from the sky
And the earth is telling me to carry on
I hold onto this hungry love you spurned
God made us out of dust and to dust we shall return
CHORUS:
We shall return to dust where we came from
We shall return to dust when it's all said and done
