Ashes to Ashes

Ravished from our paradise
 A crack in the mirror, I know who's to blame
 So full of life but paralyzed
 Etched on my iris but I try not to think of it all...
 We swore to God in Veritas
 And burned our skin like it burned our souls
 One dealt with grief by causing pain
 She hid behind maple and built her own fortress of sound
 Hear this melody almost forgotten
 (Hush!)
 I've been waiting a lifetime to show you
 You're returning to heaven like dust to dust
 I've been waiting forever to witness your fading like ashes to ashes
 Forbidden dance on fragile skin
 Why do you shine as I suffer in pain?
 The greatest scars remain within
 Leaving you now with a heart black as cardinal sin
 Fear this melody almost forgotten
 (Hush!)
 I've been waiting a lifetime to show you
 You're returning to heaven like dust to dust
 I've been waiting forever to witness your fading
 Like ashes to ashes!
 ♪
 Hate... My solution...
 Fate... An illusion!
 (Hush!)
 I've been waiting a lifetime to show you
 You're returning to heaven like dust to dust
 I've been waiting forever to witness your fading
 Like ashes to ashes!
 I've been waiting a lifetime to show you
 You're returning to heaven like dust to dust
 I've been waiting forever to witness your fading
 Like ashes to ashes!
