The Angel of Mortality

Ive been waiting here on the edge of eternity,
All this time I forgot the value of modernity,
Maybe baby you just make me feel so alive,
For the first time, to keep this we must contrive,
A new reason to continue breathing,
If you read my lips youd know the meaning.

And when a phoenix rises from the ashes,
To the ground your skull falls and bashes,
Harder and harder until the venom spills,
Whatever you need just to get your thrills,
I feel like a spider when the poison kills,
When you look at my heart and its filled with disease,
Just know this lady loves it on her knees.

See I broke into the meaning of yesterday,
Just so we could kiss away what we have today,
So if you hear me blowing by in the wind,
Just know whats happening as the bottle stops its spin,
Its a new chapter in this sour psychodrama,
Your hate for me is like the US for Osama.

Ive seen the bird rise up into the sky,
Wash the mud out from behind your eyes,
Clashing crimson dyes must be blood, for you see,
A mystery is uncovered and an angel could be,
Everything you ever thought; a death banshee,
Serve yourself a heart from the start it ended with this key.

Upon the hands of fate,
Where a lover finds its soul mate,
Music played up and into the air,
Phasing away from their dark reality,
Sipping from the brew of mortality,
Finally facing your last fatality.

So when the angel sung its song upon the devils cage,
She sank beneath the bars to find herself amazed,
When the bells of hell ring out loud,
Right back down comes a cloud,
To save a friend thats deep in need,
See magic does happen when an angel bleeds.
