Cradled by Dust

(Verse 1)

The golden hour fades to grey

The sun has tucked the hills away

And though the world is wide and deep

It’s time to let your spirit sleep

The shadows dance upon the floor

Like ghosts of who we were before

But close your eyes, don't be afraid

Of the quiet debt that must be paid.

(Chorus)

Go to sleep, my heavy heart

Where the ending meets the start

Though the wind may howl and trust

You are safe here, cradled by dust

In the soft and silent ground

Where the only peace is found.

(Verse 2)

Every breath you’ve ever drawn

Is a bridge until the dawn

But tonight the stars are dim

And the cup is at the brim

Let the earth take back its own

The seeds of hope that we have sown

The iron pulse begins to slow

In the garden where the embers glow.

(Chorus)

Go to sleep, my heavy heart

Where the ending meets the start

Though the wind may howl and trust

You are safe here, cradled by dust

In the soft and silent ground

Where the only peace is found.

(Bridge)

It isn’t cold, it isn’t dark

It’s just the cooling of the spark

A lullaby of ancient stone

To tell you you are not alone

From the stardust we were made

To the stardust we will fade.

(Outro)

Rest your head...

The work is done...

Wait for the light...

Of another sun...

Cradled by dust...

Cradled by dust...

Sleep now.
