Dust to Dust

But when its all said and done and the end is near,
When theres nothing left to grieve, nothing left to fear,
When theres nothing left to lose, nothing left to gain,
When theres no way of getting rid of this human stain,
When theres nothing left to take, everything left to give,
When theres not a moment more for you to live,
When theres nothing left to breathe except piteous gasps,
When every bit of you seems bound by clasps,
When guilt burns your skin like a searching acid,
When pride soothes your brow and leaves you placid,
When your entire life flashes past your eyes,
When the sun sets in the blood red skies,
When your body rots from core to crust,
From ashes to ashes, from dust to dust.
