[00:52.60] When the world burned I faced the task
[00:56.81] Of rebuilding what I had made
[01:01.16] I'd raise the sun again
[01:05.47] I'd bring them through the end
[01:09.98] And day by day they passed away
[01:14.35] Right before my eyes
[01:18.17] Six became a team of five
[01:22.43] I couldn't help but pass them by
[01:26.28] Ashes to ashes
[01:30.65] Dust to dust
[01:35.01] Honor to glory
[01:39.33] And iron to rust
[01:43.78] Hate to bloodshed
[01:47.69] From rise to fall
[01:52.35] If I never have to die
[01:55.91] Am I alive at all?
[02:19.47] When flames would rise to my allies
[02:23.87] I'd feel the pain inside
[02:27.69] I was the victor at a cost
[02:31.95] With every war a friend was lost
[02:36.67] On deaf ears fell my cries of hurt
[02:40.92] As the last one drove insane
[02:45.73] He turned and went astray
[02:49.50] Only my own blood to fade away
[02:53.16] Ashes to ashes
[02:57.51] Dust to dust
[03:01.82] Honor to glory
[03:06.09] And iron to rust, to rust
[03:10.51] Hate to bloodshed
[03:14.71] From rise to fall
[03:19.03] If I never have to die
[03:22.73] Am I alive at all?
[04:38.41] The nightmare began when it all ended
[04:42.78] My own blood the one I had befriended
[04:47.18] Ruled in harmony
[04:51.59] With the better side of me
[04:55.90] But things broke down just when I thought I
[05:00.16] Had lost everything I could
[05:04.52] I let her slip away
[05:08.88] She turned her back on me
[05:12.15] Ashes to ashes
[05:16.47] Dust to dust
[05:20.84] Honor to glory
[05:25.10] And iron to rust, to rust
[05:29.55] Hate to bloodshed
[05:33.86] From rise to fall
[05:38.12] If I never have to die
[05:41.78] Am I alive at all?
[05:55.21] Oh, ashes to ashes
[05:59.24] Am I alive at all?
[06:03.54] Oh, ashes to ashes
[06:08.35] Oh, ashes to ashes
[06:18.43] Am I alive at all?
