[Slow Brushed Drums Intro] [Mournful Lap Steel Guitar] [Verse 1: Male Vocal] The wind is howling through the canyon walls A tragic echo when the evening falls I carve your name into the ancient stone A foolish man who wants to die alone [Verse 2: Female Vocal] You built a fortress from your own regrets And wrapped my heart in all your endless debts I tried to save you from the rising tide But you were too in love with your own pride [Chorus: Harmonizing Duet] These are the echoes in the dust A tragic symphony of broken trust We lit the fire, but we froze inside Lost in the desert of our foolish pride [Instrumental: Slow Somber Lap Steel Solo] [Verse 3: Harmonizing Duet] Now vultures circle in the pale gray sky We don't know how to live, or how to die Just two lost strangers in a barren land Holding the ashes in our trembling hands [Chorus: Harmonizing Duet] These are the echoes in the dust A tragic symphony of broken trust We lit the fire, but we froze inside Lost in the desert of our foolish pride [Bridge: Female Vocal] If I could turn the hands of time around... [Male Vocal] I'd bury all our sorrows in the ground. [Instrumental: Dramatic Cinematic Climax] [Outro: Harmonizing Duet] Echoes in the dust... Ashes to ashes, rust to rust. Goodbye my love, goodbye my trust. [Fade Out]
