Angel of anguish, take this from me.
your feathers brush away my sins,
but your talons carve my guilt into my chest.
sweet Angel, carry me to oblivion,
rest your head in the lake of inaction,
tasting wordless pleas.
eyes, eyes, they say they never lie.
but you have none, only an empty promise lay in your skull.

Angel of anguish, take this from me.
your feathers brush away my sins,
but your talons carve my guilt into my chest.
sweet Angel, carry me to oblivion,
rest your head in the lake of inaction,
tasting wordless pleas.
eyes, eyes, they say they never lie.
but you have none, only an empty promise lay in your skull.
