Nothing But Dust - Final Mix (No Backing Vocals)

[Intro] [arpeggiated clean electric guitar with delay, acoustic guitar strumming] [Verse 1] [baritone male vocals, soft kick drum] Nothing but dust We reach to grasp the dust We build our towers to the clouds A crown ourselves we take the throne And call the kingdom ours alone [Chorus] [full band enters, overdriven guitars, driving drums] I swear these walls will never fall We hold them in our hands Time takes what we call our own Hands full of dust Kingdoms fall Nothing but dust [Verse 2] [bass guitar becomes more melodic, steady backbeat] A broken rebel stands against the throne I'll make it my own We chase the things that promise life Still nothing satisfies I crown myself with heavy pride And fight to prove our worth Nothing in my life but rust Nothing left but dust [Chorus] [distorted guitar power chords, crash cymbals] Still I run, still I chase Every road a promise made Still it leads me to my end Break the lie that I have worked Bring me to my knees Before the darkness calls I surrender all my keys Before the final call [Bridge] [snare rolls, building intensity] Tear down the throne Let every idol fall Strip away what starves the soul Leaves me wanting more Without Jesus Without Jesus [Chorus] [high-energy, layered vocal harmonies] Break the lie that I have worked Jesus Christ is my hope You are the treasure, You are my worth All that I am is found in Christ [Outro] [drums drop out, clean guitar arpeggio] While I was still a sinner Christ died for me The cross destroyed my boaster The cross destroyed my pride I thought I could save myself But You gave Your life Destroy and deliver While there is breath Hope still remains There is time to turn But when the final breath is gone There is no turning back Kingdoms fall Nothing but dust [final guitar chord rings out] Without Jesus I am lost Without Jesus Break the lie that I have worked Jesus Christ is my hope You are the treasure, You are my worth All that I am is found in Christ I am lost But Jesus Christ remains [crescendo] Kingdoms fall Jesus Christ is my hope Everything I chased could never satisfy Jesus Christ is my hope Jesus Christ is my hope Without Jesus I am lost But Jesus Christ remains
