Probably the most bombastic song on the album altough it starts very quietly but builds up until the furious guitar solo in the very end. The lyrics go deep and stagger between hope and despair - just read for yourself...

lyrics

What’ll be has never been
Too much of my concern.
What has been is gone and past
The lesson has been learned.
What is left is here and now –
A mountain of debris
I wish I could turn back time
And bring you back to me

It’s like tryin’ to walk with broken legs
Fallin’, crawlin’
Yet I keep my head up high
When I should be mourning
And make believe one day a new life
Will be dawning

There are times when I am weak
And self-reproach creeps in
Did I…? Could I…? Will I…? Would I…?
Can speculation kill?
Wanna wipe it all away
And focus on what counts.
People think I’m strong and brave
But I still have my doubts.

We are but dust in a hurricane whirling.
We are but dust - that is all that we are.
