Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida movie - The Messenger lyrics

rate me

Song by Elton John/Lulu<br /><br>

Everything is settled, immovable and calm<br>

Nothing that has plagued our lives can ever do us harm<br>

Then the voices railed against us, then the path was steep<br>

Now the sounds are softer, now the road is ended<br>

In your arms, I'll sleep<br>

<br>

Turn away from madness, burn the inner light<br>

Pray for me as cheerfully as I slip into the night<br>

Death is just a visitor watching for a while<br>

Sullen and predictable, love is versatile<br>

<br>

Everything is peaceful, and falling into place<br>

I no longer feel the wounds suffered in the chase<br>

Then we were at turns divided, then by turns oppressed<br>

Now the pain is over, now we lie together<br>

Gratefully at rest<br>

<br>

Put aside the notion that the end is near<br>

Stay with me eternally, the terrors disappear<br>

Death is just a messenger in a poor disguise<br>

Fooling no one, lost for words, love is in your eyes<br>

<br>

Now we know as we are known, unimagined things<br>

Death is just the messenger, love the truth it brings<br>

<br>
