Punishment Divine

It's warm and tender

But very soon it will turn cold

Shadows stare down from the walls

Out of the mist

It's coming closer now

It never rains

It pours on me

So let the saints

Set up the courtyard

The unpleasant cage

The obvious point is I'm insane

Was I aware

Whom I had slain

I fear I was

The faceless

The Nameless

The bush set on fire

No one ever dared to speak

"Shame on me

I don't believe

The here and now

Is all we're living for"

Joyful it seems

But then suddenly

By one false move

It's blown away

Joyful it seems

But then suddenly

Their voices cease

It's gone away

Vanished

To the point of no return

Vanished

To the point of no return

Witness my last breath

I do not regret

A word I've said

The strong will survive

The weak must die

And out of the mist

It's coming closer now

Sinner and saints

The grateful slaves

Nature's law instead of God in heaven

From far beyond

I can hear them sing

I hear angels sing

Songs of innocence

I hear the angels sing

Despite the facts are clear

It cannot be

What we can't see

I must admit

It sounds so sweet

Joyful it seems

But then suddenly

By one false move

It's blown away

Joyful it seems

But then suddenly

Their voices cease

It's gone away

Vanished

To the point of no return

Vanished

To the point of no return

Angels sing I hear angels sing

Can hear them sing

Far beyond I hear them sing

"It's true, it's true

We don't exist"

Far beyond I hear them sing

"It's true, it's true

We don't exist"

Well we all know

There's no other side

It's good and evil

I know right between

There's no borderline

This is the punishment divine

Surrounded by night

I've been offered insight

There is none but the sin of pride

Am I wrong am I right

Am I losing my sight

Abandoning the superior mind

Joyful it seems

But then suddenly

By one false move

It's blown away

Joyful it seems

But then suddenly

Their voices cease

It's gone away

Vanished

To the point of no return

Vanished

To the point of no return

Right away I will be gone

Gone I will be gone

Through the valleys gray

Through the shapeless land

I walk alone

I'm left alone

Through the deepest void

A blackened paradise

I walk alone

I'm left alone

Lyrics of a song about Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900), a German philosopher best known for his anti-nihilist rhetoric and his philosophy of the death of God. It is important to note that Nietzsche went insane (often assumed to due syphilis) in the last 10 years of his life.
