A longEm time ago before the ice and the snow
There were Cgiants that walked this landEm
withEm each step they took, the mighty mountains shook
And theC trees took a knee and theEm seas rolled in
ThenEm one day they say the sky gave way
And Cdeath rained down, it made aEm terrible sound
There wasEm fire everywhere and nothin' was spared
ThatC walked on the land orEm flew through the air
DAnd when it all wasEm over
DThe slate wiped clean with aC touch
EmThere God stood and he saw it was good
And saidC "ashes to ashes andEm dust to dust"
EmAshes to ashes, dust to dust
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
(Same Pattern throughout...)
Then 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 holdin' 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
They said "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
Nothin' 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
No matter how strong, no matter how tall
Someday even great walls will crumble
And every idol ever raised falls
And someday even man's best laid plans
Will lie twisted and covered in rust
When 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
