Lyrics & Translation

[English]

See he did everything on your checklist.

He was selfless.

He stops Niffty from stealing, and he stuck it to that Mothman.

Uh, well, uh, then why isn't he here then, huh?

Yeah. Why isn't he here?

Wait. None of you know what gets someone into heaven?

This questioning

stops now. We know when a soul arrives.

We know when they pass divine judgment.

It is our job to ensure these souls are safe.

But she was right, Sera.

She showed us a soul can improve.

He saw the light, Sera.

Checked

all the boxes that you

said would prove a person deserves a second chance.

Now we turn our backs, no second glance.

It's not as simple as you think.

Not everything is spelled in ink.

It's not fair, Sera.

Careful, Charlie, keep a cool head.

No. Don't you care, Sera?

That just because someone is dead,

it doesn't mean they can't resolve to change their ways.

Turn the page, escape infernal blaze.

I'm sure you wish it could be so, but there's a lot that you don't know.

What are we even talking about some crack ***** who ****** up already.

He blew his shot like the **** in his mouth.

This discussion is senseless and petty.

There's no question to be posed.

He's unholy. Case closed. Did you forget that hell is forever?

A man only lives once, we'll see you in one month.

Gotta say, I can't wait to -

Adam-

Come down and exterminate you.

Wait - **** - what are you saying?

Let me get this straight.

You go down there

and kill those poor souls?

You didn't know?

Guess the cat's out of the bag.

What's the big deal?

Sera, tell me that you didn't know.

I thought since I'm older, it's my load to shoulder.

No.

You have to listen. It was such a hard decision.

I wanted to save you the anguish it takes to do what was required.

To think that I admired you.

Well, I don't need your condescension.

I'm not a child to protect.

Was talk of virtue just pretension?

Was I too naive to expect you to heed the morals you're purveying.

That's what the **** I've been saying.

If hell is forever then heaven must be a lie.

Emily.

If angels can do whatever and remain in the sky.

The rules are shades of grey when you don't

do as you say. When you make the wretched suffer just to kill them again.

I was told not to trust in angels.

By her? Ha!

She should know.

We should go.

No.

Don't you see?

We've come so close.

Look at them fighting.

They're at each other's throats.

Don't you act all

high and mighty.

Did you ever think your little girlfriend might be a liar?

Don't. Adam, please.

What's the fuss? Why hide the fact that you're an angel, just like

us.

I'm sorry.

But this court finds that there is no evidence souls and hell can be redeemed.

Oh- yes, I win.

Suck it-!

You better save the date- because we're coming to your hotel first.

What? No, no you can't.

You mother-

Charlie, don't give up on this.

I'll figure something out, I promise.

That wasn't called for Adam.

Yeah, but did you see the looks on their- faces?

It was- sorry.

Extermination of human souls.

Demon or not, there is no reason to be doing this.

They were uprising, Emily.

It is my position as the head Seraphim to protect our people at all costs.

And it's your position to keep them happy and joyful.

How can I bring joy when I now know we are bringing misery to thousands of innocent

people?

Heaven needs us, Emily.

Everyone looks to us and we can't doubt ourselves or worry about the fates of demons

when we have our own souls to protect.

Please. If you start to question, you could end up like Lucifer...

Fallen. I couldn't bear to see you suffer that fate.

So please let me worry about this.

Okay?
