==============
Do you remember a guy that's been
In such an early song
I've heard a rumour from Ground Control
Oh no, don't say it's true
They got a message from the Action Man
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too
I've loved all I've needed to love
Sordid details following"
The shrieking of nothing is killing
Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and I
Ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
But I'm hoping to kick but the planet it's glowing
CHORUS
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low
Time and again I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again
I'm stuck with a valuable friend
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too"
One flash of light but no smoking pistol
I never done good things
I never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh
Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now
CHORUS
REPEAT
My mother said to get things done
(Translation To: Asche Zu Asche)
Warm body
hot cross
wrong judgment
cold grave
I now lie on the cross
they hammer nails into me
the fire purifies the soul
and remaining is a mouthful of
ashes
ashes
ashes
ashes
I will return - I will return
in ten days - I will return
as your shadow - I will return
and I will hunt you down - I will return
Secretly I will rise from the dead
and you will plead for mercy
then I will kneel in your face
and stick my finger in the ashes
ashes
Ashes to ashes
ashes
Ashes to ashes
ashes
Ashes to ashes
and dust - to dust
ashes
Ashes to ashes
ashes
Ashes to ashes
ashes
Ashes to ashes
and dust - to dust
I will return
to dust
to dust
to dust
to dust
I will return
(Steve Earle)
chorus
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
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
And He said "ashes to ashes and dust to dust"
chorus
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"
chorus
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
chorus x 2
Ravaged flame
Our paradise
A crack in the mirror
I know is too late
So full of life
But paralized
Ash on my iris
But I try not to think of it all
I swore to God in (merry tides?)
And burn our skins like it burn our souls
One ... greif by causing pain
She heed me ... abyss of fortress of sound
Hear this melody almost forgotten
I've been waiting a lifetime to show you
You're returning to heaven like dust to dust
I've been waiting forever to witness your fading
Like ashes to ashes
Forbidden dens on fragile skin
Why do you shine as I suffer in pain
The greatest scars remain within
Leaving you now with a hole black as...
Fear this melody almost forgotten
I've been waiting a lifetime to show you
You're returning to heaven like dust to dust
I've been waiting forever to witness your fading
Like ashes to ashes
(I've been waiting a lifetime to show you)
I've been waiting a lifetime to show you
You're returning to heaven like dust to dust
I've been waiting forever to witness your fading
Like ashes to ashes
I've been waiting a lifetime to show you
You're returning to heaven like dust to dust
I've been waiting forever to witness your fading
Taste the poison
Feel that this is life
Hallowed be the game
Of life and innocence
God's waiting for him
Join us at the road to fate
There are two paths
Feel the pain
Which steps into his life
Agony
He'll be crucified
Death awaits
Knocking at his door
Agony
Leave him
The clock will strike the end
Hell or heaven
Reflect and fade away
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The life clock strikes and you obey
Like a candle light that fades
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
When the life clock strikes you obey
Time isn't here to stay
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The life clock strikes and you obey
A light shows the right way
Lead: Andre
Morning is whispering in my head
Too late to say goodbye
Too late
The last breath's done
Deliverance and all
He's born to find his end
I am the one
The one who's calling
Obey my call to the cemetery
And don't be afraid
To step into the dark
Be sure that my voice
will take you home
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The life clock strikes and you obey
Like a candle light that fades
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
When the life clock strikes you obey
Time isn't here to stay
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Solo: Andre
No hope he'd waited so long
This can't be God's will
He surrendered long ago
There was no real chance
Ashes to ashes, and dust will be dust
Ashes to ashes, you all will be dust again
Lead: Andre
The clock has struck the end
Up to heaven
Reflexions fade away
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The life clock strikes and you obey
Like a candle light that fades
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
When the life clock strikes you obey
Time isn't here to stay
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The life clock strikes and you obey

"Let's see. It's the the best way to explain our cease stereosonic sound.
Well, you could walk like a stranger head back into here,
Bringing gifts while you act so sincere,
Bringing gifts for a boy who's five years,
Looking for rocks and training wheels.
I don't remember you from any of those books,
Ashes to ashes and six feet under, face down in a box.
Where did you ever learn to treat me like that?
You don't seem to have any of that family stuff,
You know the hardwood floors and all that penniless rough.
Your bad luck follows you like a heart attack,
Twist your fingers, soon as break your back.
I don't remember you from any of those books,
Ashes to ashes and six feet under, face down in a box.
Where did you ever learn to treat me like that that that?
It's coming from another with a mother who's just like yours,
Givin' you headaches and all those mental scores.
Give a little, have a little, take some for yourself,
Like the needy and the greedy always seem by themselves,
Well, you must be, have to be one of these,
Hidin' in the shade under your family tree
Think I met you once in a liquor store,
No think I saw you hanging by the stage door
Handing out programs to the family theater
Devised a role so you don't mistreat her.
Take it wild, take it fast,
You never gave yourself a chance.

When the moon is on the rise
And rivers cross the tide
When black is on the run
Then judgement comes
When smoke is going down
And the earth is tumbling round
See your king is on his knees
He's your enemy
When the devil comes to pray
And hangmen what to stay
Watch the fire's burning high
It's time to die
There's no return
No way to stop them kill and let them burn?
And when the nails have come to rust
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
When jury comes to town
And our saviour lost his crown
Like beggars in the night
He will lose his life
And when the nails have come to rust
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
After all is said and done
And you feel lost and numb
With the king is on his knees
What a glory peace
When the devil comes to pray
And the hangmen wants to stay
Watch the fire's burning high
It's time to die
White men have judged about their life
White men have failed the signs
Of hope and peaceful times
White robes have written history
Do you remember a guy that's been in such an early song
I heard a rumor from ground control
Oh, no don't say it's true
They got a message from the action man
"I'm happy hope you're happy too"
I've loved all, I've needed love, sordid details following
The shrieking of nothing is killing us
Visions of Jap girls in synthesis
And I ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
And I'm hoping to kick but this planet is glowing
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know major Tom's a junky
Strung out on heavens
High leading an all time low
Time and again I tell myself I'll stay clean
Tonight but these little green
Wheels are following me, oh, no not again
I'm stuck with a valuable friend
I'm happy hope you're happy too
One flash of light but no smoking pistol
I've never done good things
I've never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue
Want an ax to break the ice, I wanna come down right now

Strung out on heavens
High leading an all time low

A funeral- cold rain falls down
the coffin is thrown into the ground
around the grave stood the dead´s friends
a drunken priest screamed out the unholyness
Earth to dirt, ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Earth to dirt, ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Jesus wept upon his cross
Satan laughs at god, the "Big Boss"
a vampire rises up from his grave
Called by the words of the drunken priest´s unholyness
the cross- just broken, Jesus is dead
my sword hacks down unto my enemy´s head
the pope has died, and the vatikan burnt down
Jesus will never wear his golden crown
the battle has ended, a life in peace begins
the christians are punished for their bad sins
punished by true evil and tortured with pain
Welcome to the dark side
Suffer the wound i inflicted upon you, as a vampire now you shall be
damned. Fear you shall forever fell and induce to human heart, on your
quest for blood. Thou shall not tempt to find me, the master of all, the
bringer of your tragedy. But alone in darkness you shall dwell for
centuries to come. The night will be your friend, and you sakk hide from
daylight. It's the end of your human soul, but the beginning of your
Leaving behind a world on the brink of destruction.
Dreamlike, seeking another way out.
Another empty promise that I could do without.
Afraid or unafraid, leaving behind a world on the brink of destruction.
In our lives, you don't get a second chance.
So don't talk the talk, if you can't dance the dance.
Cause I've got family livin' around every corner.
Now you know.
Don't say I didn't warn ya.
It's not how you lost.
It's how you won.
And where I'm from, it's either do or get done.
The fight isn't over till the war is won,
And where I'm from,
It's either do or get done.
My cries were left unheard.
Feel this pain from the inside.
Instinct is all I have.
Close the door on my life.
‘Til we die
With a separation of life and limb
A rolling stone gathers no moss
Keep moving on from what we know went wrong
Time is precious
We don’t have long
Take full advantage
So we will live and won’t look back
To keep our dreams alive
And we will live and not retract
For what we feel will die
With strength of heart
We’ll push our passion on and on
[Spoken]
Why do we cry such bitter tears for life that is no longer ours
With dirty faces and mud-caked shoes
We dance to be different but we are all the same
Take us to a place where envy ceases to be green
And the color red covers all our sins and blacks out our eyes
With no regrets
Live today with no regrets
With a song in our hearts and breath in our lungs
Our eyes burn with vision
Ashes to ashes
False perception I bleed
the night dry I complicate.
Beautiful lies.
Can you see motion
turn to cries and I see? Bloody wishes on
the floor(on the floor) Can you see me fading
out? Can you see me?
Can you burn everything?
That once pertained my
lost soul. Let go
And I caught fire in the sunlight
Burning like a candle at night.
No shadows to hide my eyes.
I caught fire in the sunlight.
Broken pictures I close my eyes. I
circumgent innocent life.
Here I am tattoed to the wall and I am.
Blowing kisses towards the door(toward the door)
Can you see me?
Can you see me fading out? Can you burn
everything? That once
pertained to my lost soul.
Let go.
And I caught fire in the sunlight (sunligt)
burning like a candle at night.
No shadows to hide my eyes(my
eyes) I caught fire in the sunlight.
Plastic
heart melted in the shape of a knife (oh simulance)
I wont let you down (2x)
Let you down
And I caught fire in the sunlight
Burning like a candle at night
No shadows to hide ny eyes
Soon you will be gone.
But I, I have to stay.
This will be so hard.
Life won’t be the same.
This flame is getting hotter.
This flame it burns your soul.
This flame is getting hotter.
This flame engulfs us.
All your life you try.
Never did you succeed.
No you wish to bleed.
All your hate on me.
This flame is getting hotter.
This flame it burns your soul.
This flame is getting hotter.
This flame engulfs us.
Don’t let it get out of control.
You're always telling lies
Don't try to change my mind
You never listen Honey
You better step in line
I've been through lots of pain
Now anger is my name
And I don't have the time now baby
to play your stupid game
I'll fight til the day I die
I'll try til the day I die
I'll believe til the day I die
You're not gonna rule my life
Ashes to Ashes, and Dust to Dust
Cold day in hell yeah baby before you have my trust
An old man asked me "what do you do it for?"
I said Liberation
I want them to know it's me
It's on my head
I'll point the finger at me
It's on my head
Give it all to you
Then I'll be closer
Smiling with the mouth of the ocean
And I'll wave to you with the arms of the mountain
I'll see you
I will let you shout no more
It's on my head
I'll pick you up from the floor
It's on my head
I'll let you even the score It's on my head
Give it all to you
Then I'll be closer
Smiling with the mouth of the ocean
And I'll wave to you with the arms of the mountain
I'll see you
Give the same to me then I'll be closer, closer
Give the same to me then I'll be closer, closer
Smiling with the mouth of the ocean
And I'll wave to you with the arms of the mountain
Our heads are hanging low and our hearts at half-mast
Ever since the day that took you with it when it passed
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
We let go because we must
Where does it take you when it goes?
No one really knows, its anybodys guess
Some folks say its where the wind blows
And where the sea flows and the sun sets
But here we go, on with the living
And try to match the love we give with the love that weve
been given
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
We let go because we must
Days pass and nights continue to fall
Time moves ahead with it like nothing at all
But at some turn we reach the final page
Whether we die too young or of old age
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Everytime you trample across my peaceful mind
Flailing freely, want me to let it slide
How you hurt her went so far beyond wrong
I burn you down to cinders, ashes now you're gone, yeah
And the scars you left behind
Slowly fade away with time
Ashes of what used to be
Now they tore you onto me
Begging mercy, shifting, playing on both sides
Cut your own throat open and ask me how you died
What was once respect has slowly headed south
Memory forces echoes better in my mouth, yeah
And the scars you left behind
Slowly fade away with time
Ashes of what used to be
Now they tore you onto me
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Well I have no respect left for what you're about
And sympathy won't come from me
Erase everything that you once could have been
Destruction of your dignity
I scatter your ashes into the wind
Regret is too short, now you're free
Leave here in shame doomed to fulfill
Your pathetic destiny
And the scars you left behind
Slowly fade away with time
Ashes of what used to be
Now they tore you onto me
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
It's history
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
It's history
I want them to know it's me
Its on my head
Ill point the finger at me
Its on my head
Give it all to you, then I'll be closer
Smilin with the mouth of the ocean
And I'll wave to you with the arms of the mountain
Ill see you
I will let you shout no more
Its on my head
Ill pick you up from the floor
Its on my head

cannibalisms

no hesitation

though we never thought
it would come to this

this is fade to black
i can't take it back
There she walks, touching your soul like holy fire
Heaven knows, heartache to your ears, madness disappears
She's kissing the flame of desire
Yesterday's pain, illusions are on fire
Lightning strikes when she walks by
Ashes to ashes
Lust to lust, dust to dust
Tears she cries, touching your heart like holy water
When she sighs, magic to your ears, madness disappears
She's fanning the flame of her desire
Yesterday's pain, illusions are on fire
Lightning strikes when she walks by
Ashes to ashes
Lust to lust, dust to dust
The way she cries, grabbing your soul with blind ambition
Nothing remains but her illusion
Lightning strikes when she walks by
Ashes to ashes
Lust to lust, dust to dust
Lightning strikes when she walks by
Ashes to ashes
Days of no trust are upon us now
The blind leads us all into oblivion
Visions are fading and torn apart
Memories are all that's left in a bleeding heart
Who cries for the mourning
Remembering those days of glory
Chasing shadows from a melting sky
Praying for a new beginning on the edge of time
Searching gor the answers but it all ends in lies
The meaning has slipped away now the dream dies
Cold winter winds
The lightning and the storms
Passing by
Cold winter winds
The lightning and the storms
A prophet that tries to live within a law
To sanctify the path he's walking
Obediently serve the light
Clutching at straws - Pits like jaws
Martytize and observe
Observe the crow
Words are written
Through ancient times
Caused to scrolls
Words are written
Through ancient times
Truth on scaffold
Scars the souls
Indulge the stigmata
In the shadow of the icon
Awaits the halls of doom
Guarding the truth, divine and the wisdom
Concealing the traces in light
Revealing the forbidden
The inhuman and the hidden
Cast the stone
Time has come to face all the lies
Accept and swallow all your pride
Living in celibacy till you die
Reborn - Witness - Crucify
The kingdom of one
Holier than thou
Healing hand
Nailed to cross
For all to see
The saviours wounds
It will always be heresy
Now, the one who looks beyond and far away
Reflections gone astray
Horizons indigo
A soul without mercy, no remorse
The truth is hard to bare
A soul without mercy, no repent
Sentenced to obey
All the years scarred the soul
Redemption
An image of the lie
You sense the thunder and chaos subside
Standind proud among all of their lies
Never to burn your eyes again and
Listen to their hollow words
And forever question what awaits you there
You're tasted sin
You're tasted truth
AS a blind you've seen the world
Bearing the weight of it all
Never to repent if it should fall
Can you remember - Will you remember
The days of lust and greed
No fortitude from the written word
Did prayers bring them closer to the savior
Or did they bleed
Falling to their knees
Questioning theis believes
You're tasted sin
You're tasted truth
To she'd some light on the mystery
Bearing the weight of it all
Never to repent if it should fall
Through ages of no innocence
Nothing to confide in
Never wash the sins away
There can be ''No absolution!''
Led towards the eerie distant
By seductive forces
Symbolic memories
Becomes false convictions
Obsessions pre - Ordained
Epidemic cult of perversion
The essence of man
Quintessence reversed
Twisted and bleeding
Run silent, run deep
Never make a sound
Surpress any feeling
Run silent, run deep
When hope - Becomes nothing
I shall ressuect
No silence broken with no tongue
''Sic transit, sic transit''
Leaving the stone unturned
''Mundi, gloria mundi''
Building castles of sand
''Quo vadis, qou vadis''
Thus passes the glory of the world
''Quo vadis domine''
Condemned to feed in the dark
Mundane pleasure
Make believe - Blasphemy
To fill the gaping void
Who are to tell
What heaven and hell harbours
The world is blood
To the shark in the raging sea
Run silent, run deep
Never make a sound
Surpress any feeling
Run silent, run deep
Whan hate - Becomes nothing
I shall ressurect
No silence broken with no tongue
''Sic transit, sic transit''
Leaving the stone unturned
''Mundi, gloria Mundi''
Building castles of sand
''Quo vadis, qou vadis''
Thus passes the glory of the world
''Quo vadis domine''
Waiting in the wings
Whan hope - Becomes hate
I shall ressurect
No silence broken with no tonuge
''Sic transit, sic transit''
Leaving the stone unturned
''Mundi, gloria mundi''
Building castles of sand
''Quo vadis. qou vadis''
Thus passes the glory of the world
''Quo vadis domine''
''Qualis rex, talis rex''
''Mundus vult decipi''
''Manus manum lavat''
''Sic transit gloria mundi''
Beyond the dark dawn of time
Scriptures we don't understand
Walls of fear in the dim
Testimonys in the sand
The dark power awake
The ancient superior
A sacrifice to the sun
The feast for the gods has begun
The luxuriant landscpae's forlorn
Sacred ruins in the cave
The inheritance of the scorn
Reigns in this valley of the brave
A veil og mist moving swiftly along the mounrainside
The sanctuary appears abandoned and vulnerable
A call from beyond - There's a sigh
Now the curse will seal your fate
A dead calm sea encloses the place that should not be
And with their eyer wide open
They saw, they knew, they suffered
The pride of heaven and the dark existance
A moth lands down on a withering rose
Like a silent mission from the dark
Drifting around chasing fading light
On a never ending search for shelter
It takes a million men to conquer the world
The moonshine englightens and covers it all
It's bringing them down, down in the fall
Like a thousand screams
Breathing down your neck
An all - Devouring dragon
Like a thousand down your obscure
Slave new world
A breed of slaves
The time has come for the brave to muster
In the crimson sunset they shall gather as one
Internal wisdom strengthens the powers
Hatred feeds the spark in their eyes
Bravens surveil the new world birth
To witness the changes in the earth
Mankind exceed and growing stronger
History repeats itself
Lizards evolves in the dusky horizons
A deadly challenge - Prepare to fall
Dwelling salvation - Lost creation
They are shadows of the holy
Spirits are restless and yearning revenge
Utter darkness tighten the clench
Souls that are true are hard to bend
- I Control the light
The darkness reigns, and the sun descends
- Dark spirits awaken in me
Eerie movements in his mighty kingdom
- The salvation of the black soul
A star formation, a warning in the sky.
- The second war is mine
A new dungeon of the dark,
Like a shadow in dusk
His scent, his aura, the all-embracing
Darkest one.
Destruction of all mankind,
Will shape the second purgatory land.
The devours of souls.
- An abandoned priest
The savior beckons for him to rise
- An abandoned angel
An encounter with the fallen one
- The final conflict
He's come to put an end to all
- Hypocrisy
This soul belongs in Hell,
But not with this savage og envy.
I took a deep breath, and together with
The mighty evil embrace, it was so intense.
I felt my desire, all hell in my hands.
Without repentance, my mind's in oblivion.
The essence of tragefy
The flame of death's design
The solid scheme of fate
Futile to reflect
Steering with empty orbits
At the sinister deed
There is a spectral shadow
Engraved in your soul
...And when the scythe has fallen
There's no turning back
When the light's persistently faded
You're forever embraced in black
Never - You will never recoil
Forever - Locked in the pillory
You will never return
Scald by remorseful flame
Eclipse of greed
Grips the inner sanctum
Precious scapegoat
Clenching every drop of life
Leeches on your back
Refuses you to survive
The way is long and hard
That leads up to the light
Never - You will never climb the throne
Forever - Akiller's breed
You will never feel pity
Lost in the shadows
Left with a broken dream
The fire turns to smoke inside a silent scream
No God to follow
Nothing from all those years
There is only pain to fill our darkest fears
Our eyes are bleeding
The blind must lead the fool
And now we know we're locked inside a dying room
We are all hearing
The tolling bells of doom
And now we know we're locked inside a dying room
I hear the cold wind calling when the night comes down
I reach for the light beyond the night
I close my eyes to the lonley world
Now there is something waiting there
It's my only light
The power of my dreams
Never whay it seems
It's my only light
The power of my dreams
Never what it seems
Castle in the air
Embraced by the sea and the eternal tides
The waves and I will flow as one
No more pain, no more misery
I will cross to the other side
Rise above the pain so deep inside
Through a vision I will glide
Between the Devild and the deep blue sea
I will be no more
On wings of eternity
I'll fly forever for a world of only painted skies
Came to life in shame
The lust one couldn't tame
Now taking it's toll on you
At first heedless and in denial
Then the longing
Became the confession
Can't resist - You're the reciever
And in awe you thirst and obey
You willingky drink from the well
In the dark
The darkest hour
I am the scream inside the scream inside the scream
Mesmerize
I always deliver
Tantalize
The needles and pins
Carved in skin and mind
The shiver down your spine
I'm the one
Behind the closed eyes
A call that seduces
Intrigues and entwines
In the place with no doors
In raptures you'll shine
Pulling you under
A heart that pounds
As the heavens resound
Breathe it - feel it
The carnal instinct running in your veins
Take my hand
And kiss the ring
I will lead you to the promised land
Like the lamb
To the slaughter
I will lead you to the promised land
In the dark
The darkest hour
I am the scream inside the scream inside the scream
Mesmerize
I always deliver
Tantalize
The needles and pins
Carved in skin and mind
The shiver down your spine
I'm the one
Behind the closed eyes
Mesmerize
Enslaved forever
Tantalize
By the venomous kiss
Grace you with the splendor
There's no end and no beginning
I'm the one
The ultimate serach of mankind
We experience the blessed infinity
'Cause only among mortals
(Vinnie Vincent)
Rain on me baby mean mistreater lover
You got me branded by your love iron
With a love and affection I keep praying
For your desire
Sweet evil woman I walk through your fire
CHORUS
Ashes to ashes dust to dust
I live and I die for your love
Ashes to ashes dust to dust
Heart breaker taker of love
Sweeter than honey of love on my tongue
Well I'm a slave to your love
Black widow woman thy will has been done
Trapped in your web of fire
Sister of mercy I'm hooked on your drug
Well I hear the cry of the sirens
And the reaper is calling
She's really gripped around my soul
My time has come and the bell it tolls
CHORUS
Ashes to ashes dust to dust
I live and I die for your love
Ashes to ashes dust to dust
Woman--I'm flesh and I'm blood
Ooh babe I live for the breath of your love
Day after day--girl I'm waiting in vain
I keep waiting for the time to come
When my darkest dawn will fade away
Oh when it does
Then I'll feel the rising sun of your love
I will not fake this
Assembled to fit your liking
It's now I fall
But you'll be the one to crumble
All eyes are set on me
Watching every move I make
As I am reaching
For instant clarity
I've seen a life
Unrecognized from others
Till death do I part from
My heart
I've seen a life (I've seen a life)
Unrecognized from others
Till death do I part from
Your scars
I've learned to live
Off better things than my own
All I can give
In return to my home
I've never felt so lonely
You've never seemed so far away
I've laid to rest
Ashes from another day
It's time to break this
Apart from what we call our home
I'll make a stand
And you'll be the one to crumble
Underneath you're insecurity
It's time I saw
Just who the fuck you are
I've seen a life
Unrecognized from others
Till death do I part from
My heart
I've seen a life (I've seen a life)
Unrecognized from others
Till death do I part
From you
Suffer under me
The tides are rising for me
My pulse is in my throat
But do I fear
What becomes of me
The blood I she'd is nothing more
Than mere fiction for
What you'll bleed
I've learned to live
Off better things than my own
All I can give
In return to my home
I've never felt so lonely
You've never seemed so far away
I've laid to rest
Ashes from another day
Ashes to ashes
Scatter me
Ashes to ashes
Doubting me
Scars!
I've learned to live
Off better things than my own
All I can give
In return to my home
I've never felt so lonely
You've never seemed so far away
I've laid to rest
Do you remember a guy that's been
In such an early song
I've heard a rumour from Ground Control
Oh no, don't say it's true
They got a message from the Action Man
I'm happy, hope you're happy too
I've loved all I've needed love
Sordid details following"
The shrieking of nothing is killing
Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and
I ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
And I'd quit but the planet it's glowing
{Refrain:}
Ashes to ashes, fun to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low
Time and again I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again
I'm stuck with a valuable friend
I'm happy, hope you're happy too
One flash of light but no smoking pistol
I've never done good things
I've never done bad things
I've never done anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh
I want an axe to break the ice
I wanna come down right now
{au Refrain}
My mama said to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
My mama said to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
My mama said to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
My mama said to get things done
Deep between the Earth
is my new Home.
Forgotten by Friends and Enemies
A Black Cell surrounds my Lifeless Body
Now that the Silence is around me
All through the port, past Chinatown's gate
The thieves and grifters were forced to wait
Each seeking passage on the riverboat south
Gold filled their purses, lies filled their mouths
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust; Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
You dreamed in the lamplight by the waterfront pier
Transit guaranteed by handlers far from here
Your papers in order, identity assumed
A raft to convey you moored beneath the moon
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust; Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Smoking in her stateroom far below deck
Rosa Coldfield barely kept herself in check
She scrawled your face on a mirror so cold
She called your name in a voice so bold
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust; Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Your dreams were unhindered, desires unbound
You lingered for an hour with the treasure you'd found
You steeled yourself for travel, unpacked your blade
Your mind always on all the money you'd made
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust; Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Miss Coldfield spoke freely with no sense of tact
And foolish disregard for the force at her back
The docks of New Orleans teemed with traffic that day
But no-one seemed to notice as they carried her away
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust; Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Caracas blazed before you with the rising sun
Her strangers would forgive you everything you'd done
In the street you threw a coin into a beggar's cup
You looked down, he looked up
They're tearing down the street
Where I grew up
Like pouring brandy
In a dixie cup
They're paving concrete
On a part of me
No crime for killing off
A memory
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Can you find the Milky Way
Long Tall Sally and Tin Pan Alley
Have seen their dying day
[CHORUS]
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
It'll never be the same
But we're all forgiven
We're only living
To leave the way we came
No sidewalk ground now
To meet my friends
They put a roadblock
At the rainbow's end
We're driving faster now
Than Orville flew
We leave our mark on
Every single thing we do
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
It's the way the West was won
Amos and Andy and nickel candy
Have fallen to the gun
[repeat CHORUS]
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Can you find the Milky Way
Long Tall Sally and Tin Pan Alley
Have seen their dying day
[repeat CHORUS]
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
It's the way the West was won
Amos and Andy and nickel candy
Have fallen to the gun
(feat. D-Moe, OG)
[OG]
We're chillin in the Labb
My nigga JT, Bushy Moe, D-Moe
We finna do this for the Ninety-4
We lay that shit like you now how mayn
[OG]
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
The ghetto is turnin' into a fuckin' head rush
When I was young I used to sittin' or fantasize
But now I understand that I was born to die
Lookin' out the window of a 10 story project
I ask the question - how harder can the ghetto get?
Killer's beein born to take the place of other killers
Babies growin up to be notorious dope dealers
Never went to school my school was the streets
My only diploma was the motherfuckin rap sheet
After a while no more juvenile for me
I graduated to the state penitentary
Walkin' the yard with my partners out of Fillmoe
Killers stick together cause thats the way the game go
But in this game there's no one you can trust
So ashes to ashes and dust to dust
[D-Moe]
That's real nigga
Straight for the Ninety-4
Peep the 2nd crush
[OG]
Tryin to stay alive or survive ain't no joke, mayn
Often I feel I'm playin a russian roulette game
Sometimes it feels like a nightmare
But when I wake up my problem is still there
Can't get a job and that ain't helpin' a damn thang
So I resulted to the streets and slangin caine
We used to use knifes because knifes were for toughest
But now we use automatics, pistols, grips and pumps
To kill again is a way of life
Dope fiends killin' one another over base pipes
Never took the time to get close to my family
Cause it's my family that's constantly gettin me
"Freddy's Dead" cause he was livin for the cola
Knocked or smooth another young high roller
Cause in this game there's no one you can trust
So ashes to ashes and dust to dust
[D-Moe]
The game ain't gon stop for ya, mayne
You either stick wid it
Or you gotta get up outta
[D-Moe]
Life in the fast lane cocaine dope game
Only the players change
The game stays the same
So I continue to keep my composure
Survivin in the ghetto and livin like a soldier
I keep my hand on my Nine
Cause the other side of midnight is nothin but hard time
Black cats creepin
Rats in the gutter and dope fiends tweakin
Sometimes I feel I'm the cause of it
But now I realize the devil's just bullshit
Cause how can I be to blame
When 20 million other niggas doin' the same thang
I'm gettin in where I fit in
Cause winners never lose and losers never win
Cause in the ghetto survival is a must
So ashes to ashes and dust to dust
[D-Moe]
And it's straight like that, mayne
That real shit
Only for my real motherfuckers
And that's how we doin it in the 9-4
And we're outta here
Just like that
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
For the 9-4
For the nigga-niggy-niggy-niggy 9-4
Yeah, for the 9-4
We bout to tear this shit up, hoe
Tear it up, yo
For the 9-4
I tried to warn you
Sharp and jealous
Screams of misplaced trust
Dirt to dirt to dust
Shattered into pieces
The memory of tonight
Lifeless in my hands
As in your own
Butterfly wing beating
Ebbs away to nothing.
Red, and raw and hurt
Dust to dust to dirt
Safe keeping
Locked away in cold caresses,
Stone fortresses
Stolen kisses
Knife wounds I couldn’t heal
Twisted the blade
Widened the gash
chorus
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
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
And He said "ashes to ashes and dust to dust"
chorus
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"
chorus
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
Bow down at the feet of mercy
Crying your dreams in the dark
I know the truth, that's what hurts me
My very own life is tearing me apart
Now when you look at me
You won't like what you see
It's not reality
It's tragedy, tragedy, tragedy
And when you look inside
You won't like what you find
You'll see it's all a lie
It's tragedy, tragedy, tragedy
Ashes to ashes
Dreams are falling to the ground
Ashes to ashes
We all fall down
Kowtow to beast of conformity
Twisting your life in the wind
I know the deoth of depravity
I never win, I never win, I never win
Now when you look at me
You won't like what you see
It's not reality
It's tragedy, tragedy, tragedy
And when you look inside
And when you're coming nigh
You'll see it's all a lie
It's tragedy, tragedy, tragedy
Ashes to ashes
Dreams are falling to the ground
Ashes to ashes
Your memory is something that
I never could seem to lose
Oh, I've tried everything even
Drowning your memory in booze
So I finally decided to lay down
And die with the pain
Oh, but my heart kept on beating
And softly repeating your name
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
My heart and my mind know
You're still here with us
(spoken) When they lay me away
The last words they'll speak
Here lies a man that don't rest in peace
God gave me your love and
God knows I threw it away
Oh, what I put you through
Is the same Hell I'm living today
Now praying don't help
So dyin's the best I can do
But when it's all said and done
I'll still have these memories of you
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
My heart and my mind know
You're still here with us
(spoken) When they lay me away
The last words they'll speak
Here lies a man that don't rest in peace
