[Verse 1]
He woke beneath a sky of elm and pines  
No dust, no tumbleweeds, no rusted signs  

[Verse 2]
The roads were lined with shade and paved  
No sunburned fields, no dusty graves  

[Chorus]
Far from the dust, far from old games  
Where the ghosts wore boots and the storms had names  
He carried the Light, though it flickered low  
In a land that forgot where legends go

[Verse 3]
He walked like silence through the trees  
A stranger to this new century

[Verse 4]
The carnival rolled west with fate in tow  
But then fate plucked him from the show

[Chorus]
Far from the dust, far from old games  
Where the ghosts wore boots and the storms had names  
He carried the Light, though it flickered low  
In a land that forgot where legends go

[Verse 5]
Each holds their god in trembling hands  
Their fire is blue, their hearts unmanned  

[Verse 6]
He saw reflections not his own  
In windows framed by lights and chrome

[Bridge]
The past don’t rest—it shifts, it hides  
In fog and stone where truth divides

[Final Chorus]
Far from the dust, far from old games  
But the Light still burns—it just changed its name  
He walks through the years like a whisper slow  
In a land that forgot where legends go

Far From The Dust
