chorus
3
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
4
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
5
A long time ago before the ice and the snow
6
There were giants that walked this land
7
And with each step they took, the mighty mountains shook
8
And the trees took a knee and the seas rolled in
9
Then one day they say the sky gave way
10
And death rained down, it made a terrible sound
11
There was fire everywhere and nothin' was spared
12
That walked on the land or flew through the air
13
And when it all was over
14
The slate wiped clean with a touch
15
There God stood and he saw it was good
16
And He said "ashes to ashes and dust to dust"
17
chorus
18
Then the sea gave birth and it crawled up on the dirt
19
And stood up and took a look around
20
Said "I'm the next big thing and the gift that I bring
21
Comes directly from God, so there ain't no holdin' me down"
22
So he crowned himself king
23
Now no one remembers his name
24
But the seed that he sowed took the show on the road
25
There was blood on their hands and a plague on the land
26
They drew a line in the sand and made their last stand
27
They said "God made us in his image
28
And it's in God that we trust"
29
When asked about the men that had died by their hands
30
They said "ashes to ashes and dust to dust"
31
chorus
32
Now, nobody lives forever
33
Nothin' stands the test of time
34
Oh, you heard 'em say "never say never"
35
But it's always best to keep it in mind
36
That every tower ever built tumbles
37
No matter how strong, no matter how tall
38
Someday even great walls will crumble
39
And every idol ever raised falls
40
And someday even man's best laid plans
41
Will lie twisted and covered in rust
42
When we've done all that we can but it slipped through our hands
43
And it's ashes to ashes and dust to dust
44
