Angels of Ashes

The angels of ashes

Will give back your passions again and again, hmm

Their light shafts will reach

Through the darkness and touch you, my friend, hmm, hmm

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, hmm, hmm

In the unbroken darkness

Where emptiness empties alone, hmm

There's no starting or stopping

Where this is no right or no wrong, hmm

Well, that's alright for some

Who can hang the absurd on their wall

If your blind hands can't grope

Through these measureless waters, you'll fall, hmm, hmm

You've been following patterns

And fleeting sensations too long

And the fullness that fills up

The pulse of durations is gone, hmm, hmm

Let the great constellation

Of flickering ashes be heard, hmm

Let them burn with a fire

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

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, hmm

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
