Godspeed, Angel of Death Lyrics


Fading into the nightshade horizon

A path to glimpse into darkness

Uknown to the mountains

Which cannot reach above and below

The swift slice of the sickle

Persecution of blade

That which severs the mind from

The head and the body from the soul

Descending through darkness

With the speed of light

Oh angel of death, be comer of all

Oh angel of death, Azrael

He who rides upon the storm

And strikes as light

And leaves as cold

Sender of all to the wheels of fate

Tempus edax rerum

Deliverance unto the arms of death

From warm womb to cold soil

As all once known, fades away

As a light once running, now

dying in embers

He who is summoned qucikly

He who is beckoned slowly

He who with godspeed light

Will extinguish the mortal flame

A looming shadow

Forebodes to descend

With wings of darkness

Which veil the mortal shell

The angel who sits above your head

Sword drawn, and dripping with gall

Bringer of the final hour

As the soul escapes through the mouth

Bibere venenum - in auro

Tempus edax rerum!

The devourer of all things

Which shall fray the silver cord

As offerings to the angel of death

In mortem aut gloriam vamus

The white track

Which left the trail

To the path of the pale horse

Godspeed - the quickening of death

Angel of the sign, Omega

Who turns the hourglass upside down

Fragile to be brocken

Or lasting until the final grain of sand

Godspeed is the blade

Of the angel of death

Which cutteth the cord

And ends all life

Known as the 4th horseman

The destroying angel

Mal'ak Ha-Mashshit

12 winged, full of eyes

Omnes vulnerant ultima necat

Between the earth and the heaven,

with a drawn sword in his hand

Stretched out against Jerusalem

As a blade unto the soldiers of

Sennacherib all conquered by time

Between the devil and the deep blue sea

With trident aimed towards the spirit
