Angels Of Ashes Lyrics

The Angels of Ashes

will give back your passions

Again and again



Their light shafts

will reach through the darkness

and touch you my friend



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



In the unbroken darkness

where emptiness empties

alone



There's no starting or stopping

where there is no right or

no wrong



Well that's all right for some

who can hang the absurd

on their wall



If your blind hands can't grope

through these measureless waters

you'll fall



You've been following patterns

and fleeting sensations

too long



And the fullness that fills up

the pulse of durations

is gone



Let the great constellation

of flickering ashes

be heard



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



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
