Chorus

Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust

EmA long time ago, before the ice and snow

EmThere were giCants, that walked this land Em

EmEach step they took, the mighty mountains shook

And the Ctrees took a knee, and the Emseas rolled in

EmThen one day, they say the sky gave way

And Cdeath rained down, it made a Emterrible sound

EmThere was fire everywhere, and nothin was spared

That Cwalked on the land, or Emflew through the air

DWhen it all was Emover, the Dslate wiped clean with a Ctouch

EmThere God stood, and he saw it was good

EmAnd he said, "AsChes to Ashes and EmDust to Dust"

EmAshes to Ashes, Dust to Dust

EmThe sea gave birth, and it crawled up on the dirt

And stooCd up, and took a look aroundEm

EmSaid "I'm the next big thing, and the gift that I bring

Emcomes dCirectly from God, this ain't no holdEmin me down"

EmSo he crowned himself King, Now no one remembers his name

EmBut the Cseed that he sowed, took the Emshow on the road

EmThere was blood on their hands, and a plague on the land

EmThey dCrew a line in the sand, and Emmade their last stand

EmThey said "DGod made us in his Emimage, and it's Din God that we Ctrust

EmWhen asked about the men, that had died by their hands

EmThey said "CAshes to Ashes and EmDust to Dust"

EmAshes to Ashes, Dust to Dust

Em C Em C Em D Em D C Em C Em

EmNow, nobody lives forever

CNothin stands, the test of Emtime

EmOh, you heard'em say "Never say Never"

EmAh but it's Calways best, to keep it in Emmind

EmThat every tower, ever built tumbles

EmNo matter Chow strong, no Emmatter how tall

EmSome day, even great walls crumble

EmAnd Cevery idol ever raised, Emfalls

EmAnd Dsomeday, even man's Embest laid plans

EmWill lie Dtwisted, and covered in Crust

CWhen we've done aEmll that we can, but it slipped through our hands

EmAnd it's "CAshes to Ashes and EmDust to Dust"

EmAshes to Ashes, Dust to Dust
