[Verse 1]
Fret not yourself at the wicked ones
They bloom like grass, then choke on sun
They draw their blade, they bend the bow
But their own fire starts to glow
Their arms are dust, their names are smoke
They laugh too loud, then break the yoke
I watched them spread like poisoned seed
Now every root feeds on their greed
[Pre-Chorus]
Wait on the Lord, hold your ground
They get cut down, they hit the ground
Their day is coming, count it right
Like chaff in wind, gone from sight
[Chorus]
Dust to ashes, dust to ashes
The wicked fall, the wicked fall
Dust to ashes, dust to ashes
You hold me up through it all
Dust to ashes, dust to ashes
Their pride burns out, their throne grows small
[Verse 2]
I hear the cry in the iron sky
The hunted run, the vultures fly
"Come and gather together unto the supper of the great God"
That table's set for the ones who robbed
"The slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth"
Their crowns come loose, their worth is dirt
Jeremiah spoke, I hear it now
"They shall be dung upon the ground"
[Pre-Chorus]
Wait on the Lord, hold your ground
They get cut down, they hit the ground
Their hidden laugh turns into fear
When judgment walks and draws near
[Chorus]
Dust to ashes, dust to ashes
The wicked fall, the wicked fall
Dust to ashes, dust to ashes
You hold me up through it all
Dust to ashes, dust to ashes
Their pride burns out, their throne grows small
[Bridge]
[Half-time]
I was angry, I was shaking
Saw the crooked line they were making
But You said, "Do not fret"
Justice rides where my heart forgets
Acoustic strings and bloodshot tone
I stood still, You stood alone
Now the roar comes back like rain
And every lie gets split in pain
[Final Chorus]
Dust to ashes, dust to ashes
The wicked fall, the wicked fall
Dust to ashes, dust to ashes
You hold me up through it all
Dust to ashes, dust to ashes
Their pride burns out, their throne grows small
Dust to ashes, dust to ashes
The meek inherit after all
