Angels come to earn their wings
Shield me from the pain I hold so tight
They seem so invisible

The blind can't read without their light
And then the darkness came and cluttered up my kindness game
While everyone said "keep a smile,

and sweep your hurt beneath the tile, and bow to me"

Clipped of wings and forced to fly

All my trust naive weighs me down
And like a child deflected sight
Deaf ears can't hear the killing sounds


Robbed of all my sanity
The norm was mediocrity

And Wise men fell from pedestals
The weak made goblets from their skulls
And came for me


Now, before I go
I'll let you know a secret

Then maybe you'll understand
Staring deep into your soul
I thought could make the torture go

But it seems love never can

Free, roll out to the sea

Martyr out of me
As I sail crucified
Bleed, taking of my seed

Kiss me, turn and leave
And then I have to die, goodbye


Lost my faith so long ago
The worthy come, the worthy go to sleep
Resting far beyond the lies they keep

On my tongue a thousand tears
A burning hate that reappears in me


So now you turn to me, my friend
Try to make me heed my own words
It doesn't work that way

It comes my time, reach ladders I can't climb
I'll take another way


Free, roll out to the sea
Martyr out of me
As I sail crucified

Bleed, taking of my seed
Kiss me, turn and leave
And then I have to die, goodbye


Angels come to earn their wings
Where were they when I thought I could fly?

They remain invisible, and
Wonder why we lose our will to fight


Still now the darkness comes
We close the shades, avoid, be numb
But through the cracks beneath the door

It finds a way, becomes it's !@^%

So lay with me

Away with me

Free, roll out to the sea

Martyr out of me
As I sail crucified
Bleed, taking of my seed

Kiss me, turn and leave
And then I have to die, goodbye
