Ashes to Ashes Lyrics

Ravished from our paradise!
A crack in the mirror,
I know who's to blame.

So full of life but paralyzed!
Etched on my iris,
but I try not to think of it all.

We swore to God in veritas,
and burned our skin
like it burned our souls.

One dealt with grief by causing pain.
She hid behind maple and built
their own fortress of sound.

Hear this melody
almost forgotten!

Hush!

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 dance
on fragile skin.
Why do you shine
as I suffer in pain?

The greatest scars remain within.
Leaving you now with a heart
black as cardinal sin.

Fear this melody
almost forgotten!

Hush!

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!

Hate, my solution!
Fate, an illusion!

I've been waiting
a lifetime to show you,
I've been waiting
too long!

Hush!

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!
