Sacred Rite - R.I.P. lyrics

In the space of time before me Lies the pa**age of the dead I met a man, he tried to warn me 'Close your eyes', is all he said Following the man, I see the torture A thousand victims lie in pain Now I hear the voice of judgement 'Throw them all into the flame!' Who are you to murder the faithless? Who are you to damn them all to Hell? Do you know where they go when they leave you? You'll pay the price for the souls that you sell Are you the tyrant who cast them to the sea? One day you'll be among the dead And when they bury you beneath your enemy Oh! Rest in peace In the dark, they hide and tremble Crying eyes that shake with fear Fighting time, alone and frightened And all at once, they disappear Just a breath of life before them Stands the Man, the Mind, the Way And with him go the chosen children To their home so far away One day you're a beggar, and the next day you're a King But you'll never know the joy to hear your subjects when they sing For you persecute and damn them 'till they curl up, there, and die They call you Lucifer and you wonder why? Total disintegration - Famine and disease Ruthless domination - Bring them to their knees Power to your people - Freedom to your slaves Your torment and your evil have sent you to your grave We find you guilty What have you to say? Take him away!
