Tears from every cloud begin to fall The sky is big and my life is small Creator in the heavens upon high Who are you - who am I? Another day will soon disappear So make the most of it while you are here The clock is ticking as we rush Life is short - time flies As night unfolds tales will be told How faith, hope and true love will remain If our world will fade with everything we've made Ashes to ashes - Earth to Earth and dust to dust Earth to Earth - dust to dust Hear the mighty sound, roaring from beyond Hear it rip the air, spreading constant fear Masses on the run, from the blazing sun See the raging fire, burning higher and higher Where do we go from here? As night unfolds tales will be told Faith, hope and true love will remain If our world should fade with everything we've made We'll watch the stars fade away with the fragments of our lives Ashes to ashes, Earth to Earth and dust to dust At the dawn of life Earth was given to man It was not just a gift But the center of a higher plan Little old man know Of the shape of things to come Nor the tasks ahead,- yet undone We refuse to foresee Armageddon Though the prophets are clear In their prediction 'Cause we live from day to day Without a care for tomorrow And thus we have sealed our fate - the end Ashes to ashes Earth to Earth Dust to dust
