Punishment Devine - Blind Guardian

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 had slain
I fear I was:
The faceless, the nameless
The bush set on fire
No one aever dared to speak
“Shame on me, I don’t believe
The here and now is all we’re living for”

chorus:
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 angels sing
Despite the facts are clear
It cannot be what we can’t see
I must admit it sounds so sweet

chorus
SOLO

Angels sing, I hear angels sing (7x)
Can hear them sing
Far beyond I hear them sing
“It’s true, it’s true, we don’t exist”
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

chorus

Right away I will be gone
Gone, I will be gone

Through the valleys grey
Through the shapeless land
I walk alone
I’m left alone
Through the deepest void
A blackened paradise
I walk alone
I’m left alone
