Ashes to ashes,
Dust to dust,
Let the clocks tick and turn to rust.
Back to back,
Blood to blood,
Let them die alone in the mud.
Paper to paper,
Stone to stone,
Leave them alone with their broken throne.
Metal to metal,
Man to man,
Put them in my light and let them tan.
Mortar to mortar,
Brick to brick,
Destroy an allegiance and give them a stick.
Belief to belief,
Trust to trust,
Let it be known that survive they must.
This world it is dying,
This is hard to say,
But to me it is crying,
And leaving a stray.
A people of glory,
Of blood and steel,
Who let their world die,
And asked it to kneel.
So ashes to ashes,
And Dust to dust,
Ask your rulers if destroy they must.
So Back to back,
And blood vs. blood,
Ask your leaders if they feel good.
So paper to paper,
And Stone vs. stone,
Ask your leaders if they know of your home.
So metal to metal,
And man vs. man,
Ask yourselves if your leaders plan.
So mortar to mortar,
And brick vs. brick,
Ask your leaders to release their new stick.
So belief to belief,
And trust vs. trust,
And ask yourselves if destroy you must.
