	  Em 
A long time ago before the ice and the snow  
           C                           Em 
There were giants that walked this land  
    Em 
with each step they took, the mighty mountains shook  
       C                         Em 
And the trees took a knee and the seas rolled in  
    Em 
Then one day they say the sky gave way  
    C                           Em 
And death rained down, it made a terrible sound  
         Em 
There was fire everywhere and nothin' was spared  
    C                     Em 
That walked on the land or flew through the air  
D                  Em 
And when it all was over  
D                           C 
The slate wiped clean with a touch  
Em 
There God stood and he saw it was good  
        C                   Em 
And said "ashes to ashes and dust to dust"  
 
Em 
Ashes 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
