When the world burned I faced the task Of rebuilding what I had made I'd raise the sun again I'd bring them through the end And day by day they pa**ed away Right before my eyes Six became a team of five I couldn't help but pa** them by Ashes to ashes Dust to dust Honor to glory And iron to rust Hate to bloodshed From rise to fall If I never have to die Am I alive at all? When flames would rise to my allies I'd feel the pain inside I was the victor at a cost With every war a friend was lost On deaf ears fell my cries of hurt As the last one drove insane He turned and went astray Only my own blood to fade away Ashes to ashes Dust to dust Honor to glory And iron to rust, to rust Hate to bloodshed From rise to fall If I never have to die Am I alive at all? The nightmare began when it all ended My own blood the one I had befriended Ruled in harmony With the better side of me But things broke down just when I thought I Had lost everything I could I let her slip away She turned her back on me Ashes to ashes Dust to dust Honor to glory And iron to rust, to rust Hate to bloodshed From rise to fall If I never have to die Am I alive at all? Oh, ashes to ashes Am I alive at all? Oh, ashes to ashes Oh, ashes to ashes Am I alive at all?
