Asche Zu Asche (English) Lyrics

[Intro]
Warm body
Hot cross
Wrong judgement
Cold grave

[Verse 1]
On the cross I lay now
They hammer the nails through me
The fire washes the soul clean
And what remains is a mouthful of
Ashes

[Bridge]
I will return
In ten days
As your shadow
And will hunt you

[Verse 2]
Secretly, I will be resurrected
And you will beg for mercy
Then I kneel down unto your face
And stick the finger in the ashes

[Outro]
Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust

i love it when they play this song on the LAB dvd, how they are singing into the flaming mic's is really good... i think its about someone being crucified like jesus and coming back in 10 days, but as an evil incarceration... anyone else got any ideas?

if i had to pin a meaning on it, id say this song could be about the use of the death penalty. Say someone got sentanced to death but they were innocent. In the spiritual sense, the people who made the decision to execute that person would get whats coming to them

@haveabanana You simple? Asche Zu Asche is a mockery on Jesus coming back to life. That your "forgiveness" comes only when you are dead and even then, it doesn't exist.

I think its just Rammstein being Rammstein.... this was on Herzeleid which is Rammsteins first Album so possibly their artistic ability wasnt fully developed. But I do like the song, maybe in an opposite it is INCREDIBLY artistic and its metaphorical meanings go very deep.

this is one of my favorite songs...i LOVE the opening drums... i think the deep meaning might be that they knew somehow that people , especially the media, would take things out of context, and that in the end, the group would show them that they(the media) are wrong

heh. I love this song. one of mein lieblings (my favorite, for out international guests). I agree with silas. this was pretty early in their career...

it sounds like a very twisted version of the ressurection story, only instead of forgiveness, the other person is totally screwed

I got the impression that it was a warlock but anyways...

also as for Jesus, it was 7 days

I said twisted didn't I?

I'm not a big fan of this one, personally. It sounds like what the Crazy Motorcycle Chase theme from FFVII would've turned out like if it had been made to accompany the Rob Liefeld comic in which Jesus takes on the Greek gods.

Jesus came back in 3 days.

I think that this is definetly a twisted tale of the resurrection. It's defiently one of my favorite songs of all time!
