Even Angels Die

Born into the wrong place
You clutch a face out of the air and weave it on
Running in a strange race
You’ve stalled and you have fallen but you carry on
 
And they can’t let you go
And you can’t let it show
Swim in knowledge, drown in promise
It’s everything you never wished to know
 
Choosing not to kneel
And thrown right through this stained-glass love you never made
The choice holds no appeal
No revelation hour planned in this masquerade
 
And they can’t let you go
And you can’t let it show
Swim in knowledge, drown in promise
It’s everything you never wished to know
 
Let your hands
Fall down by your side
Lift your head
And the stars themselves will sigh
Even as you fall
You’re making plans to rise
Even Angels Die

You’ve stalled and you have fallen but you carry on
 
And they can’t let you go
And you can’t let it show
Swim in knowledge, drown in promise
It’s everything you never wished to know

Let your hands
Fall down by your side
Lift your head
And the stars themselves will sigh
Even as you fall
You’re making plans to rise
Even Angels Die

Michael gazed out on the city
His faith battered and torn
But in a corner of his mighty heart
A blasphemy was born

Michael gazed out on the city
His faith battered and torn
But in a corner of his mighty heart
A blasphemy, a blasphemy was born

Let your hands
Fall down by your side
Lift your head
And the stars themselves will sigh
Even as you fall
You’re making plans to rise
