| Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
|
| Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
|
| A long time ago before the ice and the snow
|
| Giants walked this land each step they took
|
| The mighty mountains shook and the trees took
|
| A knee and the seas rolled in
|
| Then one day they say the sky gave way
|
| And death rained down, and made a terrible sound
|
| There was fire everywhere and nothing was spared
|
| That walked on the land or flew through the air
|
| When all was over the slate wiped clean with a touch
|
| There God stood and He saw it was good
|
| And He said, «Ashes to ashes and dust to dust»
|
| Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
|
| Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
|
| The sea gave birth and it crawled up on the dirt
|
| And stood up and took a look around
|
| Said, «I'm the next big thing and the gift that I bring
|
| Comes directly from God, so there ain’t no holding me down»
|
| So he crowned himself king now no one remembers his name
|
| But the seed that he sowed took the show on the road
|
| There was blood on their hands and a plague on the land
|
| They drew a line in the sand and made their last stand
|
| God made us in His image and it’s in God that we trust
|
| When asked about the men that had died by their hands
|
| They said, «Ashes to ashes and dust to dust»
|
| Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
|
| Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
|
| Now, nobody lives forever nothing stands the test of time
|
| Oh, you heard 'em say, «Never say never»
|
| But it’s always best to keep it in mind
|
| That every tower ever built tumbles
|
| And no matter how strong, no matter how tall
|
| Someday even great walls will crumble
|
| And every idol ever raised falls
|
| Someday even man’s best laid plans
|
| Will lie twisted and covered in rust
|
| We’ve done all that we can but it slipped through our hands
|
| And it’s ashes to ashes and dust to dust
|
| Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
|
| Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
|
| Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
|
| Ashes to ashes, dust to dust |
