Death Tape Lyrics


Lend your ears and reminisce about the pain

Killings in the name of pride

Their final words are all that remains

Of their revolutionary suicide

Say, do we not deserve to live?

Why can't we call this Earth our home?

Our children's lives are in your hands

Tell us why they can't be saved

True, I do not wish their deaths

But they also deserve peace

Let's leave this inhumane world

To live in socialistic ease

The path lies open for you

I give you the first step

The path lies open for you

I give you the last step

We were promised peace and fortune

Our sanctuary fell into ruin

Surrounded by nothing but death

The brothers, sisters, children we loved

Lying motionless on the ground

Path of salvation my only choice

I will follow my saviour's voice

Through the gates of heaven

The path lies open for you

I give you the first step

The path lies open for you

I give you the last step

So, here I wait

My brothers still by my side

My journey has just begun

One hundred men of Jonestown

Lie beside me

In the dying sun

Spirits fill the air

A cloud in growing darkness

But I am not afraid

My beliefs will guide my soul

And ascend it to heaven

My body is slowly drifting from me

We are to reach for Utopia

I know that I would find the way

My faith will lead me onwards

And ascend my spirit home
