[Intro]

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust


[Verse 1]

Every time you trample across my peaceful mind

Flailing freely, want me to let it slide

How you hurt her went so far beyond the wrong

I burn you down to cinders, ashes now you're gone, yeah


[Chorus]

And the scars you left behind

Slowly fade away with time

Ashes of what used to be

Now they tore you onto me


[Verse 2]

Begging mercy, shifting, playing on both sides

Cut your own throat open and ask me how you died (yeah!)

What was once respect has sorely headed south

Memory forces echoes bitter in my mouth (yeah!)


[Chorus]

And the scars you left behind

Slowly fade away with time

Ashes of what used to be

Now they tore you onto me


[Bridge]

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust


[Verse 3]

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


[Chorus]

And the scars you left behind

Slowly fade away with time

Ashes of what used to be

Now they tore you onto me


[Outro]

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

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
