Ashes to ashes and dust to dust[00:00:00]
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust[00:00:04]
A long time ago before the ice and the snow[00:00:24]
The giants that walked this land[00:00:28]
And with each step they took the mighty mountains shook[00:00:32]
And the trees took a knee and the seas rolled in[00:00:36]
Then one day they say the sky gave way[00:00:40]
And death rained down it made a terrible sound[00:00:44]
There was fire everywhere and nothin' was spared[00:00:48]
That walked on the land or flew through the air[00:00:52]
When it all was over[00:00:57]
The slate wiped clean with a touch[00:01:01]
There God stood and he saw it was good[00:01:05]
He said "ashes to ashes and dust to dust" [00:01:08]
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust[00:01:13]
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust[00:01:17]
The sea gave birth and it crawled up on the dirt[00:01:21]
Stood up and took a look around[00:01:25]
Said "I'm the next big thing and the gift that I bring[00:01:29]
Comes directly from God so there ain't no holdin' me down"[00:01:33]
So he crowned himself king now no one remembers his name[00:01:37]
But the seed that he sowed took the show on the road[00:01:41]
There was blood on their hands and a plague on the land[00:01:46]
They drew a line in the sand and made their last stand[00:01:50]
The God made us in his image[00:01:54]
And it's in God that we trust"[00:01:58]
When asked about the man that had died by their hand[00:02:02]
They said "ashes to ashes and dust to dust" [00:02:06]
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust[00:02:11]
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust[00:02:15]
Now Nobody lives forever[00:02:52]
Nothin' stands the test of time[00:02:56]
You heard 'em say "never say never"[00:03:00]
And It's always best to keep it in mind[00:03:04]
That every tower ever built tumbles[00:03:08]
No matter how strong no matter how tall[00:03:12]
Someday even great walls will crumble[00:03:17]
And every idol ever raised falls[00:03:20]
And someday every man's best laid plans[00:03:25]
Now twisted and covered in rust[00:03:29]
We've done all that we can[00:03:32]
But it slipped through our hands[00:03:35]
It's ashes to ashes and dust to dust [00:03:37]
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust [00:03:44]
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust [00:03:48]
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust [00:03:52]
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust [00:03:56]
