Believers:] Fire falling from the sky Rage of god is coming down Armaggeddon's drawing nigh Sinner cry! Heathen die! Hear the toll of pain, (gloria, gloria) In the fiery rain Fire falling from the sky Rage of god is coming down Armaggeddon's drawing nigh Sinner cry! Heathen die! Hear the toll of pain, (gloria, gloria)
Now the time has come, the end's begun And the only one will come
[Gabriel:] It has been foretold By the visions of the old And the madness in their eyes Said his angel will arise That's what they know: "Holy Lord it's over, oh god We have done no wrong So we go where we belong To the neverending dream But for those who lived in sin" They claim to know: "Holy Lord it's over, oh god"
[Pope:] Hey Angel, can you tell me Will you lead us to the place Full of heat, in the fire For we only brought disgrace
[Lugaid:] He is not the one. If they only knew
[Bishop:] Hey Angel, will you take us To the judgment of his rage Hey will we die For we couldn't close the gate
[Lugaid:] To the knowledge as they have been told
[Gabriel:] I don't know how could I prove Nothing but the cloven hoof Reigning over them as well While they keep on fighting hell Babylon the scarlet whore has come
We are the seven, judgement of heaven Why don't we know: We are the angels It's revelation, soul castignation Fire will burn us away We are the seven, judgement of heaven Why don't we know: We are the angels It's revelation, soul castigation Fire will burn us away
[Pope:] Redeemer, devastation Hope it only has been meant For the sin of the dreamer who broke the low you'd sent
[Lugaid:] He is not the one. If they only knew
[Jakob:] Hey, don't know but I wondered: When we lost the seal again Maybe stoned by the incense Do we rise or just descent
[Lugaid:] He is not the one. If they only knew
[Gabriel:] I don't know how could I prove Nothing but the cloven hoof Reigning over them as well While they keep on fighting hell Babylon the scarlet whore has come
We are the seven, judgement of heaven Why don't we know: We are the angels It's revelation, soul castigation Fire will burn us away We are the seven, judgement of heaven Why don't we know: We are the angels It's revelation, soul castigation Fire will burn us away
[Voice of the tower:] Woe to you longing for the wisdom Woe to you longing for the light All my sons bring me back what is mine Or you'll end burning in this night Woe to you longing for the wisdom Woe to you longing for the light All my sons bring me back what is mine Or you'll end burning in this night
[Gabriel:] Once I have been lost in what they told me to believe Until I felt in burning deep inside to set my spirit free And I escaped to another world to help the little men Who make me plunge into philosophy – to feel my mind again... No one left to hold me tight – on the 'real'other side – but her in chains I had been alone till the madman come along With the knowledge and silver long beard He was the first man ever teaching how I could be free Helping me to find – oh – the mind and the soul They've been trying to hide away... And he promised we'd help Anna if I'd help him to go all the way
[Lugaid:] Go all the way into the world of minds Open the gate and do not close behind Prevent them from hiding the light away Prevent them from tellin' us tales Or the end of all they scare us with will be a million empty brains...
