The Angels of Ashes
Will give back your passions
Again and againTheir light shafts
Will reach through the darkness
And touch you my friendThey'll fly in a mind dance
And blind you with wings
Wrapped in flameIf you're down to an echo
They just might remember
Your nameIn the unbroken darkness
Where emptiness empties
AloneThere's no starting or stopping
Where there is no right or
No wrongWell that's all right for some
Who can hang the absurd
On their wallIf your blind hands can't grope
Through these measureless waters
You'll fallYou've been following patterns
And fleeting sensations
Too longAnd the fullness that fills up
The pulse of durations
Is goneLet the great constellation
Of flickering ashes
Be heardLet them burn with a fire
All it takes to confess
Is a word, just a wordI can recommend angels
I've watched as they've made a man strong
Oh so strongIf your humbleness shows
Then I'm sure that they'll take you
AlongYou can tell them who sent you
It might help to get you
AboveYou can say that he laughed
And he walked like St. Francis
With love
