*intro is young girl singing to herself, maybe aged around 6, no words just singing the melody. sings whats in the [ ] *
red sky at night, shepherds delight [criss, cross, criss, cross]
the blood of angels break the dawn [criss, cross, criss, cross]
red sky in morning, shepherds warning [criss, cross, criss, cross]
sleep now angel, close your eyes [criss, cross, criss, cross]
i thought i had closure but i was mistaken/
thought i was stable but i was unable to prevent my peace being taken//
i am forsaken, inner demons awaken/ healing wounds tear, my heart it breaks "n"//
theres no direction, self aggression, the calm lessens/
locked in oppression no regression added stress in//
my mentality a fatality blame what life has made/
the Devil sits upon my shoulder and grips the blade//
he asks "cry me a river" i nearly drowned him in an ocean/
of my emotions, they flicker over my face in slow motion/
there was no notion, of this broken Angels demotion/
darkness cloaks these shoulders that bleed/
cracked and broken from the worldly boulders they heave//
i was too blind to see how people lie and decieve/
to achieve all the the things i was too scared to believe/
like a child watching december skies on a cold christmas eve...
The hounds of hell are straining at the leash [criss, cross, criss, cross]
evil finds many ways to strike [criss, cross, criss, cross]
red scorched skies illuminate the skies [criss, cross, criss, cross]
sleep now angel, close your eyes [criss, cross, criss, cross]
the devil criss crosses pushing harder not stopping/
whispering my losses sanity levels dropping//
venomous words promise this is the way to release/
scissors, knife, compass, hunting for peace//
a mural in my skin of red outlined diamonds/
the devil offers pieces of mind if only i could find "em/
meanwhile, a red snake slides down my arm/
Lucifer keeps whispering "you will come to no harm"//
December skies rise supported by the lies and the haunting cries/
of every person with pain in their eyes, i realise you can no longer disguise/
the way they demoralize the worthy and the wise/
there are angels among us, but more of the devils spies//
its hard to keep love alive as the only hope dies, yet still have the strength to fly angel, fly...
fly angel, fly...
once released, evil must flow its course [criss, cross, criss, cross]
the sky is ablaze, stars shine like diamonds [criss, cross, criss, cross]
imprints on skin, flesh wounds and pain [criss, cross, criss, cross]
sleep now angel, close your eyes [criss, cross, criss, cross]
