Ashes to Ashes, Trust to Dust
Secrets I'm meant to keepI've sewn my lips
I've dug the grave
Finished the fire
Among the ashes
Nothing to save
I've thrown the key
Nothing left to see
All is left
Is for you to come
I'll lock you up, shut you down
Trample upon the dirty ground
Until your heartbeat ceases - oh! it fails
Blood stains dry under my fingernails
A sad laugh, a final smile
A goodbye for a long while
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
this trust, like metal diminished to rust
