THE RESURRECTION Oct. 27/83 Karl Rigelhof

At dawn the smoke begins to clear
To reveal the extent of the deluge
Crawling out from beneath the wreckage
That which has survived within the shadow of fear
Have adapted their ways, have lived among the refuge
Now they have another war to wage

CHORUS:
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
To hold onto the past
We do what we must

The city has crumbled into decay
They have salvaged whatever was left
Insects swarm in the festering breeze
They have to shun the heat of day
Down (into the) underground, into the cool dampness to rest
To wait until the sun sets and they can leave

CHORUS:
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
To survive in the present
We do what we must

The moon is rising to spill its light
To bless the remnants of life down below
To illuminate their struggle to be free
Of the hardship in their lives, of all they believe is right
One day life will stir a new civilization to grow
And one day soon they will
Pick an apple from the tree

CHORUS:
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
To build towards the future
We will do what we must
