Lyrics
Ashes to Ashes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The rain wash away the years of erosion
But it can't wash away a moment of pain
The sun bakes the sand all across the desert
But it can't warm the heart of a broken man
You pay the piper & a song he'll play
But do you know who the piper pays
The trumpet sounds a call to war
The day is dawning reality is crushed
Don't you lose sight of what your fighting for
Ashes to ashes & dust to dust
Dust to dust
The autumn calls the living to die in the winter
But it can't call the mark of your soul to due
The night steals the day, farewell to the rainbow
But it can't take the last breath of life from you
You pay the piper & a song he'll play
But do you know who the piper pays
The trumpet sounds a call to war
The day is dawning reality is crushed
Don't you lose sight of what your fighting for
Ashes to ashes & dust to dust
The autumn calls the living to die in the winter
But it can't call the mark of your soul to due
The night steals the day, farewell to the rainbow
But it can not take the last breath of life from you
As we comity this body to the earth
To become as it once was
For from dust we came
And to dust we shall return
To dust we shall return
To dust we shall return
To dust we shall return
To dust we shall return
The autumn calls the living to die in the winter
But it can't call the mark of your soul to due
The night steals the day, farewell to the rainbow
But it can't take the last breath of life from you
The trumpet sounds a call to war
The day is dawning reality is crushed
Don't you lose sight of what your fighting for
Ashes to ashes & dust to dust
The trumpet sounds a call to war
The day is dawning reality is crushed
Don't you lose sight of what your fighting for
Ashes to ashes & dust to dust
Farewell to the rainbow
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
