These six souls have left lower planes of existence
To be shifted to higher planes We are gathered in this court room to listen To them recounting their past life to the Envoy of Death and his jury to hear the final judgements passed He's one of the divine family The envoy of heaven and hell He don't know mercy, he don't look things through his fingers If you have something to hide He knows it without telling So you ought to prepare for what's coming The great judgement day He don't let you rest in your grave He'll give you eternal life or a nightmare in hell Which one shall be your final destination? I hope you lived your life in the right way Envoy of Death gives you the answer Envoy of Death gives you (the passport) to heaven or hell Your soul will be weighed in a scale of a balance If your soul is lighter than a feather you will get to heaven But if it weighs moreyour soul will be lost forever So pray for your salvation, it's the only thing you can do He don't let you rest in your grave He'll give you eternal life or a nightmare in hell Which one shall be your final destination? I hope you lived your life in the right way Envoy of Death gives you the answer Envoy of Death gives you (the passport) to heaven or hell He don't let you rest in your grave He'll give you eternal life or a nightmare in hell Which one shall be your final destination? I hope you lived your life in the right way Envoy of Death gives you the answer Envoy of Death gives you (the passport) to heaven or hell The Envoy of Death is here, the trial is about to begin We will now proceed to first case and now it's time For the first story to be told 02. The Deadly Game
I was a successful businessman
And life was just a big game for me One has to beware all the time 'Cause there's always someone behind you Who's ready to kick you out of the game It wasn't one of my rivals who really fooled me It was a game of Creator - death's game The attack came from a direction I couldn't fight Although I was accustomed to survive - death's game I was hurrying back from a business meeting When I apparently died They verified me to be dead, I tried to make them understand But I couldn't communicate I awoke in a coffin six foot underground I was buried alive - death's game I screamed and pounded but they didn't hear me I was finally choked to death - death's game 03. Wheels Of Destruction
My life was balanced and happy
I had a wife and two children I worked in an office as an engineer And I enjoyed my job We had saved money And bought a small house near town It wasn't in the best area But it was our own, our own But nothing good lasts forever And troubles started to gather around Changes come over our country And we couldn't ignore them We tried to live as we were used to But wheel of changes broke our harmony Our government had declared war And I was bound to join the army I didn't understand that killing and destroying We were innocent victims of dirty political games Could that destroying build us a better land, as they said? I didn't find it out, I was killed in action 04. Insane Rebels
I was born to be a drifter
Chasing shadows through my life I guessed I'd never found The meaning for my life Or at least didn't recognize it Heavy rock was the thing I liked in my life Fast cars made my life bearable to live My life passed by before it really even started Insane rebels, they didn't like me Insane rebels, they just killed me I played heavy rock in different groups And fixed my Dodge drag, yeah I didn't have time to do either enough 'Cause death had other plans for me Heavy rock was the thing I liked in my life Fast cars made my life bearable to live My life passed by before it really even started Insane rebels, they didn't like me Insane rebels, they just killed me Heavy rock was the thing I liked in my life Fast cars made my life bearable to live My life passed by before it really even started Insane rebels, they didn't like me Insane rebels, they just killed me It was a dark and cold winter night When I least expected it, five guys attacked me Senseless beating and kicking, terrible pain Ended at last in sweet, sweet death 05. Die To Win
I was an angry man in the streets
Destroying everything that stood against me I didn't like anything I just outbursted all my inner frustrations So that thought grew in my mind, day after day Until an inner voice told me to act Load the gun, point it to your head Pull the trigger, try your chances out Die to win, was my only triumph Die to win, have no reason to live Hate seemed to be my only feeling I was unemployed, all promises were broke I was just sixteen years old When I knew what was life about - just nothing So that thought grew in my mind, day after day Until an inner voice told me to act Load the gun, point it to your head Pull the trigger, try your chances out Die to win, was my only triumph Die to win, have no reason to live So that thought grew in my mind, day after day Until an inner voice told me to act Load the gun, point it to your head Pull the trigger, try your chances out Die to win, was my only triumph Die to win, have no reason to live I got involved in crime 'Cause it seemed to be the only way to survive The pressure of getting caught grew all the time It was too much for me So that thought grew in my mind, day after day Until an inner voice told me to act Load the gun, point it to your head Pull the trigger, try your chances out Die to win, was my only triumph Die to win, have no reason to live Die to win, was my only triumph Die to win, have no reason to live, have no reason to live Oh yeah 06. Stolen Salvation
I had prepared well to face my death eagerly
'Cause I had the money and power to follow death's book briefly I wanted to get to the Western land to be part of eternity All preparations went well and according to plans Stolen salvation, how could it happen to me Stolen salvation, nothing can go wrong, I always thought And I waited my time to come to join my gods Stolen salvation, how could it happen to me Stolen salvation, nothing can go wrong, I always thought And I waited my time to come to join my gods I, the great Pharaoh, died in the arms of my mistress That betrayer made me drink a glass of poisoned wine My death wasn't very honourable for a great Pharaoh The ceremonies began to prepare me for the last voyage Stolen salvation, how could it happen to me Stolen salvation, they buried me in my pyramid But grave robbers stole my treasures and shamed my mummy Is my fate to never reach the Western land? 07. Black Contract
You have two weeks' time to live, those damned doctors said
But who will die when one's life is just at the beginning? I had read a lot about black magic and I knew some of its worshippers I turned to them with my troubles and they had a solution for me Black ceremonies after another, they prepared me for the day Finally I was wandering in the secret tides of my subconscious I met the master of evil, Lucifer himself I signed the contract, seven years against my soul were his terms He promised I'll never regret this deal, so he said Just sign and seven years more will be mine I awoke in a hospital, cancer was gone I could live again but the contract was always in my mind Oh no, oh no Just a nervous breakdown, you've read to many black magic books A couple of weeks rest and you'll be well again, so they said But was it just my imagination, the terrible nightmare of a dying person? But they couldn't explain what cured my illness Today is the day, seven years are passed What's that noise, who's there? (Devil): Have you forgotten our contract? The time is up and we have come to fetch you Weren't those years worth living? I hope they were, 'cause now it's time to start worshipping your new master Oh please, I don't want to come I didn't understand what I did when I signed Leave me alone, oh no please, I don't want to come Please leave me alone, go away, go, oh please go away Where is my God, where is my God, my Creator, answer me (Devil): Shut up, stop moaning, there is no other god or creator 'Cause I'm your creator, your god, I am all I am the universe, I am the eternity, I am everything Isn't this a nightmare, why don't I wake up? I can't stand this anymore (God): How dare you, evil alien, stand against me, stay in your underworld (Devil): We made a contract, he sold his soul to me, I have all the papers here (God:) You tempted him in a moment of weakness and lead him to darkness (Devil): I stress the legality of this document, this is a very clear case. You are making your contracts with people by promising them an eternal lie (Envoy of Death): Order in the court. The jury have heard all the cases and will now withdraw to reach their verdicts. |
