Punishment divine

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
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

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
