Unworthy

Once long ago I believed in dreams, once long ago I relied on faith

Dreams fade to dust and blow away

Faith withers in the hot sun of mid-day

I starve this vessel and I pray

No, nothing wipes the filth away, cleanse my spirit

All sins were born into our veins

No blood can wash them all away

Though all my tears may cause a flood

I receive no healing from above

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust...Cleanse my spirit

From 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 . .
