[Written by Briody & Conklin]Once long ago I believed in dreams, once long ago I relied on faithDreams fade to dust and blow away
Faith withers in the hot sun of mid-dayI starve this vessel and I pray
No, nothing wipes the filth away, cleanse my spiritAll sins were born into our veins
No blood can wash them all awayThough all my tears may cause a flood
I receive no healing from above
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust... Cleanse my spiritFrom Adam we were made to lust
Consuming pleasures born to us
Release my spirit like a dove
Return to once that was above
With this blood I cleanse the earth
Take my soul for what it's worth
Though all my tears may cause a flood
I receive no healing from above
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust . .
