Punishment Divine Lyrics - Blind Guardian

It's warm and tender 

But very soon it 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 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 angels 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 I hear Angels sing 

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 an 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 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
