about

Our ancestors shape us in more ways than we can know. When wondering how we'll be remembered after our deaths, it's only right to tip a nod and raise a glass to those who came before - after all, we'll all be dust and stones soon enough. Until then, let's just carry on and pretend we'll live forever.

lyrics

Come paint our story in dust and in stones
Wrap us in cloud as a shroud for our bones
Bury me here with my face to the sky
Let each morning's dew be the grief in my eye
We skip and we stumble, never did learn to fly

I don’t burn bridges, I let them decay
The rot sets in, it fades gently away
No thunder and fireworks scorching the sky
Just a vague sense of loss and mumbled goodbye
One fumbled toss of the coin - and goodbye

So charge up your glass, and drink to the beat,
To this one golden moment, fleeting and sweet
We’ll nod to the ghosts of our past, and we’ll toast
The dust and the stones lying under our feet

At this buffet of woe, there’s enough to go round
Come pile up your plate, if a plate can be found
Eat, make merry, but don't meet the eyes
Set deep in the masks that are gathering by
Dance through the hollows with barely a sound,
Let the dogs take the scraps that fall to the ground

So charge up your glass, and drink to the beat,
To this one golden moment, fleeting and sweet
We’ll nod to the ghosts of our past, and we’ll toast
The dust and the stones lying under our feet

So charge up your glass, and drink to the beat,
To this one golden moment, fleeting and sweet
We’ll nod to the ghosts of our past, and we’ll toast
The rust and the bones there under our feet
The dust and the stones lying under our feet
