(Steve Earle)

chorus

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust



A long time ago before the ice and the snow

There were giants that walked this land

And with each step they took, the mighty mountains shook

And the trees took a knee and the seas rolled in

Then one day they say the sky gave way

And death rained down, it made a terrible sound

There was fire everywhere and nothin' was spared

That walked on the land or flew through the air

And when it all was over

The slate wiped clean with a touch

There God stood and he saw it was good

And He said
