The Messenger Lyrics - Elton John

Everything is settled, immovable and calm 

Nothing that has plagued our lives can ever do us harm 

Then the voices railed against us, then the path was steep 

Now the sounds are softer, now the road is ended 

In your arms, I'll sleep 

Turn away from madness, burn the inner light 

Pray for me as cheerfully as I slip into the night 

Death is just a visitor watching for a while 

Sullen and predictable, love is versatile 

Everything is peaceful, and falling into place 

I no longer feel the wounds suffered in the chase 

Then we were at turns divided, then by turns oppressed 

Now the pain is over, now we lie together, gratefully at rest 

Put aside the notion that the end is near 

Stay with me eternally, the terrors disappear 

Death is just a messenger in a poor disguise 

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