Angels, in heaven
I am just a mortal man,
I wield power above the common score
Angels, in heaven
I have done what I can,
It’s hard to think of the sick and poor

So tell me, please Angels,
How can I be so taught and hard,
In the end it’s just a raging fight
I touch it, I taste it,
From fire and blood I am so scarred,
Believe I still contain immortal light

Like anger,
Furious anger,
The anger lives inside
It drives me,
This dagger,
Within me it resides
Was it my choice-
I gave the sound-
Which burned them all
Brought them to the ground
Was it my choice-
They had to die-
The sick and helpless slaughtered
For a lie

Forgive me, dear Angels
At some point I will go,
At some point I will reach the end
Don’t abandon me here,
Don’t push me down to sink so low
The things I’ve done you can surely mend

Like Anger,
Dark anger,
My soul is full of sin
The world is,
A stranger,
I must die or I must win

Angels please just see me.
Angels please just take me.
For I must die or I must win
Mea maxima culpa [Through my most grievous fault]

Kyrie Eleison [Lord have mercy]
