Ashes to ashes

It's ashes to ashes, all will end in dust.
We will be forgotten like steel becomes rust
Nothing is forever, nothing will stay here.
When all is decaying show me what you fear.

All that you love, that you hate, that you care for
It will fade away!

Everyone fears something, someone or some dreams.
I hear the echoes of death when a child screams.
We are all born dead, we cannot escape it.
Birth is a crime scene and coffins are cradles

We shall not, we cannot
We will not live forever
Our conscience is fading
We're getting weaker as we speak
We shall not, we cannot
We will not live forever
Our conscience is fading
We're getting weaker day by day

Death is a shadow on the wall of our lives.
A darkness that cannot be lost with sunlight.
It's closing in on us can you hear the call,
of the death clarions announcing our fall.
