Means to an End - The Murder of My Sweet

«The Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command,

With the voice of an archangel,

And with the sound of the trumpet of God.»

Save your sheep if you can

Shelter the lonely and pray for the damned

Watch their fear settle in

Mountains of fire and pain crashing in on you

Sinners gather in thick

I’ll show you Mother Nature’s a bitch

My tears, hailstorms and nails

I’ll send a cyclonic storm full of acid rain

For you

Set aside the grace of god

Finding righteousness through law

The little and the lost

Find comfort in my cause

Your cross burns the flesh of the heathen

King or slave all succumb

They’re marked

Ain’t no rest for the wicked

Greet the reaper

It’s the end of the world

Let the rivers be red again

It’s the means to an end

If I can’t have you no one will

Burn, burn, burn fools

Pray your humans can swim

Watch how they drown when my flood’s setting in

I"ll turn day into night

You suffered the Black Death well you ain’t seen nothing you

Oh no

Reeking pits in the dark

I will collect all the souls for my cause

Turning man into beast

Halos to shackles and wings into heaps of coal

For you

Set aside the grace of god

Finding righteousness through law

The little and the lost

Find comfort in my cause

Your cross burns the flesh of the heathen

King or slave all succumb

They’re marked

Ain’t no rest for the wicked

Greet the reaper

It’s the end of the world

Let the rivers be red again

It’s the means to an end

If I can’t have you no one will

Burn, burn, burn fools

Leaders of the world

Guardians of the earth

Spirits of the land

Will you lend a hand?

No one escapes!

Leaders of the world

Guardians of the earth

Spirits of the land

Will you lend a hand?

No one survives!

Michael:

Sweetheart this ain’t the way

You leave me no choice but to treat you with pain

I will fight to the end

I wasn’t brought up to do any less, be warned

Beth: I strike

Michael: My heart

Beth: I burn

Michael: My soul

Beth: I’ll smite the cowardness in you

Michael: I thought I had God on my side

Beth: Darkness is always stronger than light

Michael: I’m blind

Beth: Thank God

Michael: I’m dying

Beth: If I can’t have you no one will

Both: As we are falling through the clouds

Beth: I’ve got you dying in my arms

Can’t carry this burden

Why have I done this to you?

It’s too late for sad regrets

I’m awakening

While you slip away

One last breath my dear

Then you’ll disappear

The archangel will die

In my arms

I have won

You’ll always be the hero

The one and only

I guess you could have saved my soul

Now we’ll never know

Monstrously your God is speechless

Carelessly he falls to pieces

So much for your guardian angel now

What can I tell you?

The tables have turned

Your time to compose a requiem for a ghost

I own the light

And all the creatures of the night

They chant Hosanna 'till they’re numb

This is it my kingdom come

Your cross burns the flesh of the heathen

King or slave all succumb

They’re marked

Ain’t no rest for the wicked

Greet the reaper

It’s the end of the world

Let the rivers be red again

It’s the means to an end

If I can’t have you no one will

Burn, burn, burn fools

Burn, burn, burn fools

Michael:

I was bound for the valley of shadow of death

But God has woken me up and now He wants revenge

Beth:

No!

It can’t be true!

No it can’t be true

What give you the right to save his life, and wrong my right?

Don’t let her take my life

Don’t let her wrong be right

You don’t possess the art to take life

Michael:

Famous last words

Everything has to end, everything dies

The sun will set as I begin to fall

Asleep like this winter

I’m cold

Falling through the dark

Dying

«He loves me.

He loves me not…»
