A long time ago before the ice and the snow |
|
There were giants that walked this land |
|
And with 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 it made a terrible sound |
|
There was fire everywhere and nothin' was spared |
|
That walked on the land or flew through the air |
|
And when it all was over |
|
The slate wiped clean with a touch |
|
There God stood and he saw it was good |
|
He said "ashes to ashes and dust to dust". |
|
Then the sea gave birth and it crawled up on the dirt |
|
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 man that had died by their hand |
|
They said "ashes to ashes and dust to dust". |
|
Nobody lives forever |
|
Nothin' stands the test of time |
|
You heard 'em say "never say never" |
|
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 every man's best laid plans |
|
Will be twisted and covered in rust |
|
When we've done all that we can |
|
But it slipped through our hands |
|
It's ashes to ashes and dust to dust. |
