Blind Guardian
Ashes to Ashes
[Intro]
Taste the poison
Feel that this is life
Hallowed be the game
[Verse 1]
Of life and innocence
God's waiting for him
Join us at the road to fate
There are no two paths
(Feel the pain)
Which steps into his life
(Agony)
He'll be crucified
(Death awaits)
Knocking at his door
(Agony)
Leave him
[Pre-Chorus 1]
The clock will strike the end
(Hell or Heaven)
Reflect and fade away
[Chorus]
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The life clock strikes and You obey
Like a candle light that fades
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
When the life clock strikes You will obey
Time isn't here to stay
[Post-Chorus]
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The life clock strikes and You obey
A light shows the right way
[Verse 2]
Morning is whispering in my head
Too late to say goodbye, too late
The last breath's done, deliverance at all
He's born to find this end
I am the one
The one who's calling
Obey my call to the cemetery
And don't be afraid
To step into the dark
Be sure that my voice
Will take You home
[Chorus]
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The life clock strikes and You obey
Like a candle light that fades
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
When the life clock strikes You will obey
Time isn't here to stay
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
No hope he'd waited so long
This can't be God's will
He surrendered long ago
There was no real chance
[Bridge]
Ashes to ashes and dust will be dust
Ashes to ashes, you all will be dust again
[Pre-Chorus 2]
The clock had struck the end
(Up to heaven)
Reflections fade away
[Chorus]
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The life clock strikes and You obey
Like a candle light that fades
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
When the life clock strikes You will obey
Time isn't here to stay
[Post-Chorus]
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The life clock strikes and You obey
A light shows the right way
[Outro]
Taste the poison
Feel that this is life
Hallowed be the game
