The Messenger

"The Messenger" is the twelfth song from the concept album, Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida. The song is sung by Elton John and Lulu.
This song made its only appearance here, as it had been cut and deleted from the Broadway production and consequently left it off from the original cast recording album.
==Lyrics==
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
Now we know as we are known
Unimagined things
Death is just a messenger
Love the truth it brings
Death is just a messenger
Love the truth it brings
