Ashes Lyrics by Aviators

Mirrors (Deluxe Version)

2013

[Verse 1]
When the world burned, I faced the task
Of rebuilding what I had made
I'd raise the Sun again
I'd bring them through the end
And day by day, they passed away
Right before my eyes
Six became a team of five
I couldn't help but pass them by

[Chorus]
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Honor to glory
And iron to rust
Hate to bloodshed
From rise to fall
If I never have to die
Am I alive at all?

[Verse 2]
When flames would rise to my allies
I'd feel the pain inside
I was the victor at a cost
With every war, a friend was lost
On deaf ears fell my cries of hurt
As the last one drove insane
He turned and went astray
Only my own blood to fade away

[Chorus]
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Honor to glory
And iron to rust
Hate to bloodshed
From rise to fall
If I never have to die
Am I alive at all?

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
The nightmare began when it all ended
My own blood, the one I had befriended
Ruled in harmony
With the better side of me
But things broke down just when I thought I
Had lost everything I could
I let her slip away
She turned her back on me

[Chorus]
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Honor to glory
And iron to rust
Hate to bloodshed
From rise to fall
If I never have to die
Am I alive at all?

[Outro]
Oh, ashes to ashes
Am I alive at all? Oh
Ashes to ashes, oh, ashes to ashes
Oh, oh, oh
Am I alive at all?
