Ash to ashes, dust to dust Skin to bone and steel to rust Skin to bone, steel to rust Will tomorrow have it's way With the promises we made Your deception, my disgust When your name is finally drawn I'll be happy that you're gone

And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45 Swimming through the ashes of another life No real reason to accept the way things have changed Staring down the barrel of a 45 What ever happened to the young man's heart? Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell

God bless Amerika This so godless Amerika Will I die or go to jail today? Everybody wanna tell me what I need You can play a role in my life but not the lead Uh, my mind’s filled with mine fields The ashes fall, the wine spills The world stops, drops and

I've got a red hot heart Only smoke and ashes baby I say there's fire down below If the talk is true yours is the same We should be together And let our passions fan love's flame, oh yeah And your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins You say it's

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Taste the poison Feel that this is life Hallowed be the game The life clock strikes and You obey Like a candle light that fades When the life clock strikes You will obey

Where once a heart was beating Nothing but embers glow Our love it serves as kindling To stoke this flames inferno I am hell to thee Down here all shall suffer with me Die purified Rise the ashes to the sky

But it's all coming back to me And you hold me like that It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now There were moments of gold And there were flashes of light But then they'd always seemed right There were nights of endless pleasure I can

So here we are This is the end But all that dies Is born again I have nothing to fear I have nothing to say You have nothing to take this from me Years of screaming in pain

We are too far gone Of all these yesterdays I feel the rage And it burns the pages We were, never meant to make it this far Life feels like it's all in vain Practicing for death alone I'm covered fast In the falling ashes

I won't let go, I won't let go I won't be alright Even if the sun crashes into us And I can be your light Stay with me tonight Oh, oh, yeah yeah yeah You got in so late It's Sunday morning
