The Messenger - Diamond Head

The spirits rise in the dead man’s tomb

Worlds deprived under his name

He rides above your city

And decides if to lay down his hand

Stories are told since the dawn of days

And when it’s your time remember his name

You hear the words

For the last time

You hear him cry

I am the messenger of Death

And I keep a ledger filled with wrath

For I am your messenger of Death

And I keep a ledger with all your names​

When he was born his mother died

Fate said her words, the cruelest lie

The end is only a beginning

Through the flames and the feathers damned

From whence he came the dark divine

In the purest form Death is time

You say your words

One last time, and even then

You hear him cry

I am the messenger of Death

And I keep a ledger filled with wrath

For I am your messenger of Death

And I keep a ledger with all your names

I am the messenger of Death

And I keep a ledger filled with wrath

For I am your messenger of Death

And I keep a ledger with all your names
