[Written by Briody & Conklin]      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 . .
