Ashes to Ashes, dust to dust

>

I hold on to the memories carried away by the wind

Memories of a scattered scared past, full lives unlived

The night raises cries as damnation strikes my home

Tearing apart pieces of my heart like burning Rome

Yet, I have never known this day will come demanding my soul so fast

To claim me from your arms shattering our hearts with an enormous blast

The sheets of our love nest have turned icy cold

“Ashes to ashes dust to dust” I have been told

>

>

Chorus

Oh Death dies hard as the lovely past life we knew back then fades

When the grim reapers ride the night for unsettling souls making raids

The deceitful cold strikes like a guillotine merciless but fast

Robbing you from your memories, your love, your past

Death’s a murder, a bloody murder

I can’t escape the afterlife any further

And now I belong to death

A dead spirit with no breath

>

Struck endlessly in the afterlife unable to shed a tear or break free

I watch your fingers lace around our photo hugging under a tree

The sight of your tears makes me die over and over again

I can’t hold on any longer watching you drown in abyss of pain

Is it selfish to long for your touch?

Is it selfish to miss your scent that much?

Chorus:

The wolves moan at the moon singing a broken note which is fading

As I pray the Grace of God that somebody up there in heaven is listening

>

My pale figure watches your body sulk and sink with your fears

Over my body that lies in the casket surrounded by bloody tears

With every second I grow weaker and fragile, unable to hang on any further (fade)

Until my bugging conscience has been freed, I won’t move on until my will is said

Wait my love, listen to what the deceased me has to say

I love you, though I never said it before to you lovely Kay

I die a thousand deaths every time you shed a tear

My love, my heart, even in death I love you dear

But now I am claimed by the shadows, belong to death “Move on”

And though I try so hard to reclaim the past to your scent, Oh hold on

Chorus

Oh Death dies hard as the lovely past life we knew back then fades

When the grim reapers ride the night for unsettling souls making raids

The cold strikes like a guillotine merciless but fast

Robbing you your memories, your love, your past

Death’s a murder, a bloody murder

I can’t escape the afterlife any further

And now I belong to death

A dead spirit with no breath

>

I just want a last smell of your almond hair

To remember our kissing and gasping for air

God, don’t I get a second chance to make it right,

Just a minute to hold him in my arms up tight,

To lace my fingers around his hair and bid him farewell

To confess what the flimsy heart once hid. What about the love to tell?

In this my retribution for being a dark person,

 To die and see my love drown in pain and poison

Oh you just don’t know what I am ready to do to kiss you once more

To feel the intensity of our love and its heat through my soul pour

>

Chorus

Oh Death dies hard as the lovely past life we knew back then fades

When the grim reapers ride the night for unsettling souls making raids

The cold strikes like a guillotine merciless but fast

Robbing you your memories, your love, your past

Death’s a murder, a bloody murder

I can’t escape the afterlife any further

And now I belong to death

A dead spirit with no breath

>

The wolves moan at the moon singing a broken note which is fading

As I pray the Grace of God that somebody up there in heaven is listening

>

Forever and always I will love, -Cherish my last words-, you till death do us part

Though death skinned me away from between your arms and forced us to part

>

(END)

The cold strikes hard; as fingers go numb the force pulls back the life chain

And forces me to crossover and die a thousand times over and over again

The unforgiving iciness cuts through the flesh and bones mercilessly

Dragging my sorry soul through the dark antagonizing it happily

A treacherous fire burns my last memories of you which I hold on to too tight

Ashes to ashes AVE ATQUE VALE, time to face the Lord, as I walk towards the light

>

AVE ATQUE VALE= hail and farewell

>
