Dust to Dust Lyrics
Hey, come on in, walk this way
Look what I have prepared to show you
Let me show you
How things can quickly unfold
In the end everything just turns back
Turns back into
Dust to dust, our bones will rust
And we shall start again
Dust to dust, our bones will rust
And we shall start again
Hey, where are you going?
Don't trust all that you hear
Now, take it in and behold
I don't seek right or wrong
I seek the truth found in death
Goes hand in hand with remorse
Is it something that is worth losing?
Worth pursuing
Dust to dust, our bones will rust
And we shall start again
Dust to dust, our bones will rust
And we shall start again
Hey, where are you going?
Don't trust all that you hear
Aren't you sick of running?
It's better to stay here
Hermanos, la salvacion
Es algo que se gana
Suelta tu mano del rencor y despierta a una nueva luz
Dentro de ti aunque tus hermanos
Intenten sumirte en la obscuridad
(Brothers, the salvation
It is something that is earned
Release your hand of resentment and wake up to a new light
Inside you although your brothers
Try to plunge you into the darkness)
Dust to dust, our bones will rust
And we shall start again
Dust to dust, our bones will rust
And we shall start again
Dust to dust, our bones will rust
And we shall start again
Dust to dust, our bones will rust
And we shall start again
Hey, where are you going?
Don't trust all that you hear
There's no use in running
It's better to stay here
Look what I have prepared to show you
Let me show you
How things can quickly unfold
In the end everything just turns back
Turns back into
And we shall start again
Dust to dust, our bones will rust
And we shall start again
Don't trust all that you hear
I don't seek right or wrong
I seek the truth found in death
Goes hand in hand with remorse
Is it something that is worth losing?
Worth pursuing
And we shall start again
Dust to dust, our bones will rust
And we shall start again
Hey, where are you going?
Don't trust all that you hear
Aren't you sick of running?
It's better to stay here
Es algo que se gana
Suelta tu mano del rencor y despierta a una nueva luz
Dentro de ti aunque tus hermanos
Intenten sumirte en la obscuridad
(Brothers, the salvation
It is something that is earned
Release your hand of resentment and wake up to a new light
Inside you although your brothers
Try to plunge you into the darkness)
And we shall start again
Dust to dust, our bones will rust
And we shall start again
Dust to dust, our bones will rust
And we shall start again
Dust to dust, our bones will rust
And we shall start again
Don't trust all that you hear
There's no use in running
It's better to stay here

It is not (necessarily) religious…
It’s about mortality and the cycle of life. It’s neither right nor wrong or evil. It’s the truth you ignore at your own peril. It can come unexpectedly, with remorse for what you did and didn’t do. Yet still, after death, the world goes on and does it all over again.
So live righteously and fully. Make it something worth pursuing, as there is no point in holding on to it.
Profound this Pau is.

Dust to Dust is a prologue. The Spanish section is that of a preacher saying that you can receive salvation but it is something that you must work for. The lyrics have deeply religious undertones - life is short and unpredictable (“How quickly things can unfold”); there is an afterlife (“and we shall start again” and “the truth found in death”); we should distrust false prophets (“where are you going? Don’t trust all that you hear”); and judgement (“I don’t seek right or wrong”).
Translated, the Spanish portion says: Brother! Salvation is something you earn! Let go of your hand of resentment and awaken to a new light within you Even if your brothers try to plunge you into darkness This is the frustrating part of many religions, that you must do something to "earn your way into heaven to be saved." No matter how good we are, the Bible tells us that our own righteousness is as filthy rags before God and that even a good person sins over seven times a day. Jesus Christ came to Earth to die in our place to free us so that He could offer His sacrifice as payment for our sins so that He could freely give us salvation if we would only accept it. How do we accept it? By being baptized in His Name and receiving the free gift of the Holy Spirit. The person that is trying to earn his or her own way to salvation will ALWAYS be sorely disappointed because nothing we can do on our own is good enough. Read the Book of Acts of the Apostles to get a full understanding.
