Dark Angels

How deep the blade of hurt does cut

When the darkness comes to play

When trust is tested to endurance end

And the heart’s light drips away

Dark angels gather within sadness’s clouds

In the place where faith does reside

And they plant the poison seeds of doubt

From which no soul can hide

How craftily they do blind the soul

To subdue it on its own

There to break the bonds we’ve made

With those we have loved and known

The world becomes a darker place

When for the self we fight

Its hurt calls out for vengeance

To break the bonds of light

We’re led to hurt the ones we love

When we’re weak and torn with pain

I have battled with dark angels today

And Love saved me again
