Angels and Ministers of Grace
Come defend who's been praying
I've found you wanting by your weight
Who did you think you'd be saving?
Then suddenly, you're acting out of the need to be taking someone downHands on the altar for a charming spell
(Be sincere with persuasion)
Go ask your Goddess if you've served her well
(She'll be climbing higher now)More sinned against than sinning, please
You're not above my suspicions
You're lamb and serpent just like me
It's more than just superstition
Then suddenly, I'm finding out that it's me you'll be taking down with youHands on the altar for a charming spell
(Be sincere with persuasion)
Go ask your Goddess if you've served her well
(She'll be climbing higher now)Tie a knife with a ribbon, with a red, red, ribbon
Raise a hand-held mirror to the light of the moon
With a secret garden and a heart unhardened, strike a specter's bargain with a ritual brew
Book and candle is natural to those pure and simple
Tie a knife with a ribbon, with a red, red, ribbon
Tie a knife with a ribbon, with a red, red, ribbonDon't try your magic spells on me
I know you've been crystal gazing
You say your boots are seven league
Where 'er you go, I'll be waiting!Hands on the altar for a charming spell
(Be sincere with persuasion)
Go ask your Goddess if you've served her well
(She'll be climbing higher now)
Hands on the altar for a charming spell
(Be sincere with persuasion)
Go ask your Goddess if you've served her well
(She'll be climbing higher now)Tie a knife with a ribbon, with a red, red, ribbon
Raise a hand-held mirror to the light of the moon
With a secret garden and a heart unhardened, strike a specter's bargain with a ritual brew
Book and candle is natural to those pure and simple
Tie a knife with a ribbon, with a red, red, ribbon
Tie a knife with a ribbon, with a red, red, ribbon
