Lyrics for Yama's messengers

I'm scared to death when I see them arrive Infected eyes, red, staring at me The time has come for retribution Now they're counting my actions The cries and shouts are confusing me Falling in disgrace, I don't want to go now And I am facing them, seems they recognize me Too late for regrets They're growing darker while approaching me, creeping Prowling vultures in the sky Devoured by a ravening beast, raised Fallen from the dead Endure the pain that they're giving me slow Flashes of life, blurred suffering Distant reminder of funeral piles Thousands of people dying I'm taking back all the pain Distributed through ages unconscious My brain scattered, feed habitants of this cage Consuming my heart I've killed so many, I don't want to count I spent a life slaying, raping the world Both far and near before you now I come, please help Creator, faultless one
