I’ve been thinking about our fortune
And I’ve decided that we’re really not to blame
For the love that’s deep inside us now, is still the same
And the sound we make together
Is the music to the story in your eyes
It’s been shining down upon you now, I realize
Listen to the tide slowly turning
Wash all our heartaches away
We are part of the fire that is burning
And from the ashes we can build another day
Imagine the burning embers
They glow below and above
Your sins you won’t remember
And all you’ll find there is love
Ashes are burning brightly
And my ashes fly their way beyond the fog
And I return to save the child that I forgot
And my ashes fade among the things unseen
And a dream plays in reverse on piano keys
And my ashes drop upon a park in Wales
Never-ending clouds of rain
And distant sails… distant sails
To the fields we are scattered
Then from the dust we are born
We survive somewhat battered
To a new life, a new dawn
In the end what will it matter
There’ll only be my ashes to scatter
And all the logical answers
To a worrying mind
Will be scattered in time
I close my eyes, only for a moment
And the moment’s gone
All my dreams pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind
We are stardust, we are golden
We are billion year old carbon
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden
Went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends
A chance to share old memories and play our songs again
When I got to the garden party, they all knew my name
No one recognized me, I didn’t look the same
'Cause I don’t recognize ya
'Cause your heart’s turned cold when you left this home
No I don’t recognize ya
You were mine to hold but you let me go
No I don’t don’t don’t no I don’t recognize ya no more
No I don’t don’t don’t no I don’t recognize ya no more
But you’re not the one I used to know
Tell me where this fell to pieces, pieces
Hey, don’t I know you from some other life?
You were wide-eyed and green
And a little bit taller
And you didn’t look away
When spoken to
It’s not easy being green.
Back in black, I hit the sack
I’ve been too long I’m glad to be back
Yes I am let loose from the noose
That’s kept me hanging about
I kept looking at the sky cause it’s gettin’ me high
Forget the hearse cause I’ll never die
I got nine lives, cat’s eyes
Abusin’ every one of them and runnin’ wild
Well there’s a mugger in the alley, there’s a sniper in the hall
There’s a girl at the bar wants to get me by the balls
The hangman is hanging if I autograph the noose
And Lee Harvey Oswald’s brother’s on the loose
There’s a mafia hitman with a bullet for my back
Someday he’s gonna get me, but I’m not dead yet
I understand you’ve been running from the man
Who goes by the name of the Sandman.
He rides the sky like a needle in the eye
Of a hurricane that’s abandoned.
I am unworthy to be sacrificed,
I’m such a tragic coming.
Doing the dance, and singing the songs,
I’m Morpheus in a Masquerade.
Your just sins, I have held deep-within.
I will burn down for you.
I saw the lightning strike in the skies
And heard you roar of pain
Oh, lift the knife and strike once more
Your blood is mixed with the rain
C’mon baby, raise your knife
Welcome darling to my sacrifice
Oh, sacrifice
You who build these altars now
To sacrifice these children
You must not do it anymore
A scheme is not a vision
And you never have been tempted
By a demon or a god
You who stand above them now
Your hatchets blunt and bloody
You were not there before
When I lay upon a mountain
And my father’s hand was trembling
With the beauty of the word
Why don’t you rock my soul?
(In the bosom of Abraham)
Oh, rock my soul
Has anybody here seen my old friend Abraham,
Can you tell me where he’s gone?
He freed a lotta people, but it seems the good die young
But I just looked around and he’s gone.
When he grew up this tiny babe
Folks all called him Honest Abe
Abraham, Abraham
One quarter of George Washington’s head
Half of George Washington’s head
Three quarters of George Washington’s head
All of George Washington’s head
