Contextual Analysis of "ashes" in Lyrics

Your god takes it all away

Jesus collects all you've got

start

a fire set by those who wish to see you fail

reflect and fade away

dust to dust

start

he's nothing but ashes

Skin to bone, steel to rust

Let tomorrow have its way

i know what you've got buried in the sand

it all comes down to who you really trust

the world we made goes up in flames

we reenact the hunger games

earth to earth

and dust to. earth to earth

but even the darkest night will see the sun rise

i get knocked down then i get right back up

yeah

in empty halls

for you

the phoenix rises

and the song on which we'll ride

ashes

and the song on which we'll ride

ashes

start

too cold to re-kindle

start

the sun is black ain't no return

start

dust to dust

i couldn't help but pass them by

dust to dust

everything for far too long

ashes ashes we all fall down

quiet now on deck

dust turn into dust
