Ashes To Ashes

When the moon is on the rise

And rivers cross the tide

When black is on the run

Then judgement comes

When smoke is going down

And the earth is tumbling round

See your king is on his knees

He's your enemy

When the devil comes to pray

And hangmen what to stay

Watch the fire's burning high

It's time to die

There's no return

No way to stop them kill and let them burn?

And when the nails have come to rust

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

When jury comes to town

And our saviour lost his crown

Like beggars in the night

He will lose his life

And when the nails have come to rust

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

After all is said and done

And you feel lost and numb

With the king is on his knees

What a glory peace

When the devil comes to pray

And the hangmen wants to stay

Watch the fire's burning high

It's time to die

White men have judged about their life

White men have failed the signs

Of hope and peaceful times

White robes have written history

White robes refuse to see
