Believe in me send no moneyI died on the cross and that ain't funnyBut my so called friends they're making me a jokeThey missed out what I said I never spokeThey choose what they wanna hear they don't tell a lieThey just leave out the truth as they're watching you dieThey're saving your souls by taking your money

3. No Prayer For The Dying

There are times when I've wonderedAnd times when I've criedWhen my prayers they were answeredAt times when I've liedBut if you asked me a questionWould I tell you truthNow there's something to bet on

You've got nothing to lose

When I've sat by the windowAnd gazed at the rainWith an ache in my heartBut never feeling the painAnd if you would tell meJust what my life meansWalking a long road

Never reaching the end

God give me the answer to my lifeGod give me the answer to my dreamsGod give me the answer to my prayers

God give me the answer to my being

перевод: “Нет молитвы для умирающих”(Lightbringer)

4. Public Enema Number One

when it all comes down the lineand the lights they turn to greedand you race off with your tyres screamingrolling thunderand the people choke with poisonchildren cry in fearbut you've got your fast bullet

one way ticket outta here

Fall on your knees todayAnd pray the world will mend its waysGet to your feet again

Refugees from the heartbreak and the pain

In the cities in the streetsThere's a tension you can feelBreaking strain is fast approachingGuns and riotsPoliticians gamble and lie to save their skinsAnd the press get fed the scapegoats

Public enema number one

A million network slavesIn an advertising new ageI don't need a crystal ball to sell yaYour children have more brainsThan your drug infested remains

California dreaming as the earth dies screaming

перевод: “Клизма обществу номер один”(Lightbringer)

5. Fates Warning

Why is it some of us are destined to stay aliveAnd some of us are here just so that we'll dieHow come the bullet hits the other guy

Do we have to try and reason why

Be it the devil or be it himYou can count on just one thingWhen the time is up you'll know

Not just one power runs the show

Are we the lucky ones saved for another dayOr they the lucky ones who are taken awayIs it a hand on your shoulder from the lord above

Or the devil himself come to give you a shove

A volcano erupts and sweeps a town awayA hurricane devastates the cities in its wayThe grief and misery for the ones that are left behind
The worst is yet to come a hell to face mankind

перевод: “Предостережение судьбы”(Lightbringer)

6. The Assassin

Now the contracts outThey've put the word about

I'm coming after you

It's not the money I makeIt's the thrill of the chase

And I'm coming after you

I watch your every moveStudy the things you do

And the pattern of your ways

I watch the way you walkI hear your telephone talk

I want to understand the way you think

Better watch out, cos I'm the assassin,
Better watch out, better watch out

I'm in a cold cold sweatI taste the smell of death

I know the moment's getting closer

And as you walk to the lightI feel my hands go tight

Excitement running through my veins

I've got you in my sightsI've got you dead to rights

The triggers waiting for my finger

I feel adrenalin rushIt's just the final touch

You can kiss your arse goodbye

перевод: “Наёмный убийца”(Lightbringer)

7. Run Silent, Run Deep

The convoy lights are dead aheadThe merchantmen lay in their bedThe thump of diesels hammers downIn the oily sea-the killing groundHis knuckles white his eyes alightHe slams the hatch on the deadly nightA cunning fox in the chickens lair

A hound of hell and the devil don't care

Runing silent,runing deep, we are your final prayerWarriors in secret sleep, a merchantman's nightmareA silent death lies awaiting, for all of you below

Running silent,running deep, sink into your silent sleep

Chill the hearts of fighting menIn open ocean wondering when?The lethal silver fish will flyThe boat will shiver – men will dieA cast of millions – a part to playKiller? Victim? Or fool for a dayObeying an order – men have to die

Us or them – a well rehearsed lie

The lifeboats shattered the hull is tornThe tar black smell of burning oilOn the way down to Davy JonesEvery man for himself – you're on your ownThe wolf eyes watch the crosswire'stern tubes ready', 'aim and fire'They can pin some medal on your chest

But in two more weeks – dead the rest

перевод: “Пусть ход ваш будет тих и глубок”(Lightbringer)

8. Hooks In You

I got the keys to view at number 22Behind my green door there's nothing to seeStone cold sober and sitting in silence,laidBack and looking for symphatyI a girl who knows where she's bound

I don't girls who've been hanging around

Hooks in you, hooks in me, hooks in the ceilingFor that well hung feelingNo big deal, no big sin, strung up on love I

Got the hooks screwed in

She's tied up she can't come to the phoneYou must have got your wires crossed cos she ain't homeKnock on wood – you know I that sound

She never could keep her feet on the ground

Right on the money got it wrapped up tightNew ideas for the decor tonightGonna make this house a preservation zone
Gonna set her in concrete set her up on her own

перевод: “Крюки в тебе”(Lightbringer)

9. Bring Your Daughter… To The Slaughter

Honey its getting close to midnightAnd all the myths are in townTrue love and lipstick on your linenBite the pillow make no soundIf there's some living to be doneBefore your life becomes your tombYou'd better know that I'm the one

So unchain your back door invite me around

Honey its getting close to daybreadkThe sun is creeping in the skyNo patent remedies for heartache

Just empty words and humble pie

So get down on your kneees honeyAssume an attitudeYou just pray that I'll be waiting

Cos you know I'm coming soon

So pick up your foolish pride,no going back
No where, no way, no place to hide

Bring your daughter, bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go

10. Mother Russia

Mother Russia how are you sleepingMiddle winter cold winds blowFrom the trees the snowflakes drifting

Swirling round ghosts in the snow

Mother Russia poetry majesticTells the time of a great empireTurning round the old man ponders

Reminiscing an age gone by

Mother RussiaDance of the tsarsHold up your headsBe proud of what you areNow it has comeFreedom at lastTurning the tides of history

And your past

Mother RussiaDance of the tsarsHold up your headsRemember who you areCan you releaseThe anger the griefCan you be happy
Now your people are free

перевод: “Матушка русь”(Lightbringer)

Bible Verses About Death: 20 Comforting Scriptures Quotes

Prayer For A Child That Is Dying

One of the most difficult things to deal with in life is the death of a loved one. Even for the Christian, death is a part of life.

Un they that do not believe, the Christian has a blessed hope – that is the return of the Savior Jesus to catch up His Church and bring them to eternal life with Him and God the Father in Heaven.

Here are some scripture quotes about death that I hope will comfort you .

As He Promised, He Will Do

John 14:1-4 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.”

Romans 8:16-17 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.

2 Corinthians 5:6-8 So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God.

And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.

Therefore encourage one another with these words.

1 Thessalonians 5:9-11 For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him. Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.

Because of Calvary, We Live

2 Samuel 12:23 But now he is dead. Why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me.” (King David speaking of his infant son who died)

John 11:23-26 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.” Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”

1 Corinthians 15:54-57 When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Philippians 3:20-21 But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.

In His Time, He Will Do

1 Corinthians 15:20-23 But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ.

Philippians 1:23-24 I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account.

1 Peter 1:3-5 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

1 John 3:1-2 See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be him, because we shall see him as he is.

Revelation 21:1-4 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

Safe In His Arms, Now and Forever

Psalm 23:4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil,

Psalm 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

John 10:27-29 “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them the Father’s hand.” (Jesus speaking)

Romans 8:38-39 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 14:8 For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.

Revelation 14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!”

Christian Quotes About Death

“They that love beyond the world cannot be separated by it. Death cannot kill what never dies.” ~ Williams Penn

“When the time comes for you to die, you need not be afraid, because death cannot separate you from God’s love.” ~ Charles H. Spurgeon

“It is better for me to die in behalf of Jesus Christ, than to reign over all the ends of the earth.” ~ Ignatius of Antioch

“He whose head is in heaven need not fear to put his feet into the grave.” ~ Matthew Henry

“Has this world been so kind to you that you should leave with regret? There are better things ahead than any we leave behind.” ~ C.S. Lewis
