MURDER IN THE DUST
He’s a Broken man
Betrayed by his first
Killed by the crowd
and beat’n down
Even his brightest barer of light
and some of his friends
turned there backs on him
When all he wanted
was to give them his love
Chorus:
It was murder in the Dust
I’m a lover, not a warrior
I’m Pleasure without lust
Passion without Rust
So Sons of Sin, better listen…
Because My Heart I Will Defend!
I made you of dust
and gave you my breath
Then as you slept
I gave you my heart
to have hold and protect
and in return you joined her
in the serpent’s sin
then tried to hide from me
If you had just taken her hand
and made her confess
we could have just washed her clean
then started again
But you choose not to listen
to my warnings of wisdom
So now my heart I must Defend!
Chorus:
It was murder in the Dust
I’m a lover, not a warrior
I’m Pleasure without lust
Passion without Rust
So Sons of Sin, better listen…
Because My Heart I Will Defend!
So now you can see her
walkin the streets
In the world’s oldest profession they say
Lookin to fill the void you left her with
When you took my love away from her heart
I needed you to be with her for all time
to have hold and protect
to keep the rhythm of my heart holy and alive!
But instead you chose to hide your sin from me
And lock me out of my own heart
