Legacy of Dust

THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Empty playgrounds frozen still
Where children's laughter used to fill
Their footprints in the toxic sand
The last trace left in this dead land

[Chorus]
We had a garden, paradise
But traded gold for fool's advice
A million years of life undone
By choices made beneath this sun

[Verse 2]
Libraries of ancient dreams
Now float as ash in poison streams
The art we made, the songs we sung
Now echo through the void, unsung

[Chorus]
We had a garden, paradise
But traded gold for fool's advice
A million years of life undone
By choices made beneath this sun

[Bridge]
If I could turn back all the years
And wash away our sins with tears
Would you believe me if I said
We could have chosen love instead?

[Final Verse]
The last tree falls without a sound
No one to hear it hit the ground
Just memories of morning dew
And skies that once were painted blue

[Chorus]
We had a garden, paradise
But traded gold for fool's advice
A million years of life undone
By choices made beneath this sun
