The righteous do not really die

[80 bpm] *(Verse 1)* In the quiet of the night, When the soul takes its flight, Death’s a mystery, a veil so thin, Yet the righteous know what lies within. Like a dream, we sleep and wake, From this world, our souls we take, In the blink of an eye, we see the light, Heaven’s doors are open, shining bright. *(Chorus)* The righteous do not REALLY die, they rise, To gardens where the river lies, In paradise, where love abides, With purest souls by their sides. Do not say they’re gone, they’re near, Alive with their Lord, nothing to fear. *(Verse 2)* Those who walked in faith, divine, In their hearts, God's light does shine, When this life comes to an end, Heaven's gates, they transcend. No more death, no second fall, God’s mercy, the greatest of all, In the cause of God, they fought and stood, Now they rest in eternal good. *(Chorus)* The righteous do not REALLY die, they rise, To gardens where the river lies, In paradise, where love abides, With purest souls by their sides. Do not say they’re gone, they’re near, Alive with their Lord, nothing to fear. *(Bridge)* O souls who believed, now hear the call, Enter My Paradise, you’ve conquered all. From the first breath to the final sigh, In God's embrace, you’ll never die. *(Rap 1)* Listen close, let me break it down, Death’s just a passage, not the end of the town. For the righteous, it’s a door to a place so sweet, Heaven awaits, with blessings replete. One death we’ve tasted, and that’s the last, No more shadows, no more past. Straight to Paradise, the soul will fly, The righteous do not really die. *(Verse 3)* At the moment life departs, Peace fills their faithful hearts, Angels guide them on their way, To a land of eternal day. In the cause of God, they fell, But their souls, with Him, now dwell, Provision from their Lord so grand, In a place where they’ll forever stand. *(Chorus)* The righteous do not REALLY die, they rise, To gardens where the river lies, In paradise, where love abides, With purest souls by their sides. Do not say they’re gone, they’re near, Alive with their Lord, nothing to fear. *(Chorus)* The righteous do not REALLY die, they rise, To gardens where the river lies, In paradise, where love abides, With purest souls by their sides. Do not say they’re gone, they’re near, Alive with their Lord, nothing to fear. *(Verse 4)* Disbelievers face a different fate, At death's door, they meet their state, Angels' hands, a harsh reprieve, No peace for those who don’t believe. Two deaths they know, and hell in sight, A nightmare lasting through the night, Until the day when judgment falls, Eternal woe within Hell’s walls. *(Chorus)* The righteous do not REALLY die, they rise, To gardens where the river lies, In paradise, where love abides, With purest souls by their sides. Do not say they’re gone, they’re near, Alive with their Lord, nothing to fear. *(Rap 2)* To my people, let it be known, In Heaven’s light, the righteous have grown. Death’s just a step, a bridge to cross, No longer bound by earthly loss. In Paradise, they live, they thrive, More alive than when alive. So take heart, don’t mourn or cry, The righteous do not really die. *(Outro)* Most exalted, most divine, No partner, no other sign. Who is the One? Who is the One? GOD alone, the All-Knowing One. *(Final Chorus)* The righteous do not REALLY die, they rise, To gardens where the river lies, In paradise, where love abides, With purest souls by their sides. Do not say they’re gone, they’re near, Alive with their Lord, nothing to fear. *(Final Chorus)* The righteous do not REALLY die, they rise, To gardens where the river lies, In paradise, where love abides, With purest souls by their sides. Do not say they’re gone, they’re near, Alive with their Lord, nothing to fear.
