Means To An End by The Murder Of My Sweet Lyrics
"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..."
With the voice of an archangel
And with the sound of the trumpet of God."
