Skin to bone, steel to rust
Ash to ashes, dust to dust
Will tomorrow have it's way
With the promises we made
Skin to bone, steel to rust.
Ash to ashes, dust to dust
Your deception, my disgust
When your name is finally drawn,
I'll be happy that you're gone
Ash to ashes, dust to dust.
[Chorus]
(Aah) Ash to ashes, dust to dust
(Aah) Skin to bone and steel to rust
Right to left, left to right
Night to day and day to night
As the starlight fades to gray,
I'll be watching far away
Right to left and left to right
[Chorus]
Will tomorrow have it's way
With the promises betrayed
Skin to bone and steel to rust
Skin to bone and steel to rust
Skin to bone and steel to rust
Ash to ashes, dust to dust
Will tomorrow have it's way
With the promises we made
Skin to bone, steel to rust.
Ash to ashes, dust to dust
Your deception, my disgust
When your name is finally drawn,
I'll be happy that you're gone
Ash to ashes, dust to dust.
[Chorus]
(Aah) Ash to ashes, dust to dust
(Aah) Skin to bone and steel to rust
Right to left, left to right
Night to day and day to night
As the starlight fades to gray,
I'll be watching far away
Right to left and left to right
[Chorus]
Will tomorrow have it's way
With the promises betrayed
Skin to bone and steel to rust
Skin to bone and steel to rust
Skin to bone and steel to rust

Ash to ashes, dust to dust
Will tomorrow have it's way
With the promises we made
Skin to bone, steel to rust.
Is saying that over time things die things decay, but will tomorrow have it's way? is refering to a political figure saying something and if they will follow through or not. the following line saying skin to bone,steel to rust. is saying no because things will stay the same.
by doing so the next verse is saying that since thins didn't change I'll be happy when your gone. thus being very rebellious and saying down with how the things are run.
Right to left, left to right
Night to day and day to night
As the starlight fades to gray,
I'll be watching far away
Right to left and left to right
is the closure of the song, showing escape from what we were or even watching from death (Heaven) as the world becomes decay
Ash to ashes, dust to dust
Will tomorrow have it's way
With the promises we made
Skin to bone, steel to rust.

the first half of the first verse:
Skin to bone, steel to rust
Ash to ashes, dust to dust
Will tomorrow have it's way
With the promises we made
Skin to bone, steel to rust.
It's actually about the promises that they make...
The other half of the first verse:
Ash to ashes, dust to dust
Your deception, my disgust
When your name is finally drawn,
I'll be happy that you're gone
Ash to ashes, dust to dust.
That's about after the writer got betray
So the song is mostly about the betrayal... nothing else...
