The 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
