R.i.p. Lyrics - Singles - Sacred Rite

In the space of time before me 

Lies the passage of the dead 

I met a man, he tried to warn me 

'Close your eyes', is all he said 

Following the man, I see the torture 

A thousand victims lie in pain 

Now I hear the voice of judgement 

'Throw them all into the flame!' 

Who are you to murder the faithless? 

Who are you to damn them all to Hell? 

Do you know where they go when they leave you? 

You'll pay the price for the souls that you sell 

Are you the tyrant who cast them to the sea? 

One day you'll be among the dead 

And when they bury you beneath your enemy 

Oh! Rest in peace 

In the dark, they hide and tremble 

Crying eyes that shake with fear 

Fighting time, alone and frightened 

And all at once, they disappear 

Just a breath of life before them 

stands the Man, the Mind, the Way 

And with him go the chosen children 

To their home so far away 

One day you're a beggar, and the next day you're a King 

But you'll never know the joy to hear your subjects when they sing 

For you persecute and damn them 'till they curl up, there, and die 

They call you Lucifer and you wonder why? 

Total disintegration - Famine and disease 

Ruthless domination - Bring them to their knees 

Power to your people - Freedom to your slaves 

Your torment and your evil have sent you to your grave 

We find you guilty 

What have you to say? 

Take him away!
