Testo di Ashes and Dust

I could have been a fallow wolf Or a frog fighting with storks I could have been a clairvoyant Or a simple deaf and dumb person I could have been burned at the stake Or thrown to beasts as an easy prey I could have been a nobody Or the greatest of all prophets Ashes and dust Which I consist of Torment and pain I am damned I was a great king for nothing When my people were beggarly I was god for nothing When I tore the bible to pieces I was unbeliever for nothing When my belief was unbelievable I was creator for nothing When I ruined everything I could have been a bandit or a law-abiding servant I could have been a laughing hangman or a witch sentenced to death Ashes and dust Which I consist of Torment and pain I am damned
