Wings of Dust (The Fall)

+ Show full styles

[Verse 1] They rose like fire with eyes so bright A promise written into light But wings made soft from praise and trust Will fall the fastest into dust [Verse 2] I held your hand through breaking skies And watched the stars blink out like lies The echoes screamed what you became No name remains — just grief and flame [Chorus] Wings of dust, once carved from grace Now spiral through this shattered place You flew too close, I sang too loud We cursed the sun, and wore the shroud [Verse 3] The sky won’t mend, it only weeps The world forgets the soul it keeps And I — I carry all you were A dying hymn in minor blur [Bridge] Why does beauty break so bold? Why do the bright burn fast and cold? I stitched your shadow to my skin So when I fall, you fall again [Chorus] Wings of dust, once carved from grace Now spiral through this hollow space We burned so high, we fell so clean Now ash is all we’ve left between [Outro] I build no grave — just let it lie In every silence where we fly No feather left, no voice to trust Just me… and wings of dust
