Lyrics (The Taste of) Rust and Bone - Ketzer

(The Taste of) Rust and Bone

A step to the left or a step to the right — worlds collide
As the tip of the tongue bears the taste of rust and bone
White, the faces of a thousand men, multitude that is me
And the tip of the tongue bears the taste of rust and bone
Union of water fountain drops — of random strokes of fate
The merging of infinite ways — to the east, to the north, to the west and south
To separation of the earth and the salt, in the
Breez that makes us meet — a door left ajar makes a liftime change
For better or for worse — in the end it comes in waves or all at once
Let the candle flicker — I don’t mind the light
Never will I be the master of the winds that blow through time
I am bone white
Rust and bone — this is the taste of silver and gold
This is the last meal tonight before I close my eyes and now
I am bone white
Now all at once
A step to the left or a step to the right — worlds collide
As the tip of the tongue bears the taste of rust and bone
White, the faces of a thousand men, a multitude that is me
And the tip of the tongue bears the taste of rust and bone
Fortunate one — a million ways to live — a million ways to die
Yet I’m always my mother’s son — the boy who left, the boy who stayed
The forger of dreams — of golden dusks or rooftop fires
The hard way won — a door left ajar makes a lifetime change
For better or for worse — in the end it comes in waves or all at once
