Punishment Divine lyrics

It's warm and tender but very soon it will turn cold

Shadows stare down from the walls

Out of the mist it's coming closer now

It never rains -- it pours on me

So let the saints

Set up the courtyard, the unpleasant cage

The obvious point is I'm insane

Was I aware whom I has slain, I fear I was:

The faceless

The nameless

The bush set on fire

No one ever dared to speak

"Shame on me, I don't believe

The here and now Is all we're living for"

Joyful it seems but

Then suddenly

By one false move it's blown away

Joyful it seems but

Then suddenly

Their voices cease it's gone away

Vanished to the point of no return

Vanished to the point of no return

Witness my last breath

I do not regret

A word I've said

The strong will survive

The weak must die

And out of the mist

It's coming closer now

Sinner and saints --

The grateful slaves

Nature's law instead of God in heaven

From far beyond

I can hear them sing

I hear angels sing

Songs of innocence

I hear the angel sing

Despite the facts are clear

It cannot be, what we can't see

I must admit, it sounds so sweet

Joyful it seems but

Then suddenly

By one false move it's blown away

Joyful it seems but

Then suddenly

Their voices cease it's gone away

Vanished to the point of no return

Vanished to the point of no return

Angels sing

(Can hear them sing)

I hear angels sing

I hear angels sing

(Can hear them sing)

I hear angels sing

I hear angels sing

(Can hear them sing)

I hear angels sing

I hear angels sing

I hear angels sing

Far beyond I hear them sing

("It's true) it's true

We don't exist"

From far beyond I hear them sing

("It's true) it's true

We don't exist"

Well we all know there's no other side

It's good and evil

I know right between, there's no borderline

This is the punishment divine

Surrounded by night, I've been offered insight

There is none but the sin of pride

Am I wrong am I right? Am I losing my sight?

Abandoning the superior mind

Joyful it seems but

Then suddenly

By one false move it's blown away

Joyful it seems but

Then suddenly

Their voices cease it's gone away

Vanished to the point of no return

Vanished to the point of no return

(Right away)

Through the valleys grey

(I will be gone)

Through the shapeless land I walk alone

(I will be gone)

I'm left alone

(I will be gone)

Through the deepest void, a blackened paradise

(I will be gone)

I walk alone, I'm left alone
