Asche zu Asche Deutsch Warmer Körper heißes Kreuz falsches Urteil kaltes Grab Auf dem Kreuze lieg ich jetzt sie schlagen mir die Nägel ein das Feuer wäscht die Seele rein und übrig bleibt ein Mundvoll Asche Ich komm wieder in zehn Tagen als dein Schatten und werd dich jagen Heimlich werd ich auferstehen und du wirst um Gnade flehen dann knie ich mich in dein Gesicht und steck den Finger in die Asche Asche zu Asche und Staub zu Staub

Ashes to Ashes English Warm body hot cross wrong judgment cold grave On the cross I now lie they hammer nails into me the fire washes my soul clean and what remains is a mouthful of ashes I will return in ten days as your shadow and will hunt you Secretly I will rise from the dead and you will plead for mercy then I will kneel in your face and stick my finger in the ashes Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
