- The storyteller: Tom Baker -
Mirage-like, in the far distance
A whirlwind rises ominously
And races towards Daniel

As it winds its way
Through the wild contours
Of the Transitus landscape
A mysterious figure emerges from its depths

- Angel of Death: Simone Simons -
Well, hello there

- Daniel: Tommy Karevik -
So who the hell are you?

- Angel of Death: Simone Simons -
I hate
To be
The one
To have
To tell you

You have come to the end
You are about to
Ascend into

- Angel of Death & her Furies: Simone Simons, Marcela Bovio & Caroline Westendorp -
The Great Beyond!

- Angel of Death: Simone Simons -
I hate
To be
The one
To have
To (...)
Push you

But you are holding up the line
Move along to your

- Angel of Death & her Furies: Simone Simons, Marcela Bovio & Caroline Westendorp -
Final destination!

- Daniel: Tommy Karevik -
No! (oh)
I can't accept this is the end
I won't rest in peace
My love and life unresolved

A little time is all I need
My soul is not at ease
Please listen to my story

- Angel of Death & her Furies: Simone Simons, Marcela Bovio & Caroline Westendorp -
They are all alike
They die
They plead for their life
They lie
Then break down and cry

Now, I don't know why
Him I like
Must be something in his eyes
Well, all right, shall we give him some time?

- Angel of Death: Simone Simons -
And listen to his story

So tell me
Why should I
Waste one second
On you?

Oh yes
I have
To confess
You are cuter than the rest
Of this

- Angel of Death & her Furies: Simone Simons, Marcela Bovio & Caroline Westendorp -
Lifeless crowd!

- Angel of Death: Simone Simons -
So tell me why you think
You're entitled (...) to my time
I'm sick and tired of all lies
And immune to all

- Angel of Death & her Furies: Simone Simons, Marcela Bovio & Caroline Westendorp -
Cries of desperation!

- Daniel: Tommy Karevik -
No no no!
I
Never should have doubted her
She was not to blame
No matter what they all say

I must go back and let her know;
I need to clear her name

Won't you listen to my story

- Angel of Death & her Furies: Simone Simons, Marcela Bovio & Caroline Westendorp -
They are all alike
They die
They plead for their life
They lie
Then break down and cry

Now, I don't know why
You/him I like
Must be something in your/his eyes
So, all right, we'll go back in time

- Angel of Death: Simone Simons -
I'll listen to your story!

— Just take my hand
