Angels of Ashes

[Verse 1]

The Angels of Ashes

Will give back your passions again, and again

Their light shafts will reach

Through the darkness and touch you, my friend

[Verse 2]

They'll fly in a mind dance

And blind you with wings

Wrapped in flame

If you're down to an echo

They just might remember your name

[Verse 3]

In the unbroken darkness

Where emptiness empties alone

There's no starting or stopping

Where there is no right or no wrong

[Verse 4]

Well that's all right for some

Who can hang the absurd on their wall

If your blind hands can't grope

Through these measureless waters, you'll fall

[Verse 5]

You've been following patterns

And fleeting sensations too long

And the fullness that fills up

The pulse of durations is gone

[Verse 6]

Let the great constellation

Of flickering ashes be heard

Let them burn with a fire

All it takes to confess, is a word, just a word

[Verse 7]

I can recommend angels

I've watched as they've made a man strong, oh, so strong

If your humbleness shows

Then I'm sure that they'll take you along

[Verse 8]

You can tell them who sent you

It might help to get you above

You can say that he laughed

And he walked like St. Francis with love
