Testo Ashes to Ashes - Steve Earle
Testo della canzone Ashes to Ashes (Steve Earle), tratta dall'album Just an American Boy - The Audio Documentary
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
A long time ago, full of ice and snow
There were giants that walked this land
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 amid a terrible sound
There was fire everywhere and nothing was spared
That walked on the land or flew through the air
When it all was over
Slade wiped clean with a touch
There God stood and saw it was good
And said, "Ashes to ashes and dust to dust"
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Then a seed gave birth and it crawled up on the dirt
And stood up and it took a look around
Said, "I'm the next big thing and the gift that I bring
Comes directly from the gods, so ain't no holding me down"
So he crowned himself king, now no one remembers his name
But the seed that he sowed took to showing root
Now there's blood on their hands and a plague on the land
They drew a line in the sand and they made their last stand
Said God made us in His image
And it's in God that we trust
When asked 'bout the men that had died by their hands
He said, "Ashes to ashes and dust to dust"
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Now nobody lives forever
Nothing 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 and no matter how tall
Someday even great walls will crumble
And every idol ever raised falls
Someday even man's best laid plans
Are locked, twisted, and covered in rust
We 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
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
