8. Listen to My Story (4:03)
- 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
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
