Into Dust (Take It All Away)

[Lyricist’s note: This song had a meaning at some point but this has been lost not only into the mists of time but also at the cruel cut of the editors. Still, if Jon Anderson of Yes can get away with not always making sense…]

Believe me, believe me
Lives shift out of phase
Within me, without you

This means I spend my whole life
Denial, deny all

The need, the want, the longing
The hunger of desire
Take it all away (x2)
Emotional confusion
Sensual suspire
Take it all away (x2)

Deceive me, deceive me
Shape me in your plans
Senseless, defenceless

You continue in your indecision
Denial, deny all

The need, the want, the longing
The hunger of desire
Take it all away (x2)
Emotional confusion
Sensual suspire
Take it all away (x6)

GTR SOLO

All I ever wanted, into dust, into dust (x2)

Silence, silence
Stillness my old friend
Embrace me, embrace me

Nothing can reach me here
Denial, deny all

The need, the want, the longing
The hunger of desire
Take it all away (x2)
Emotional confusion
Sensual suspire
Take it all away (x2)
