A.N.G.E.L.

***Your Angel***

The memory is painful
It haunts you
The ghosts of your past
You crouch, afraid
Crawl under the bed
Its dark in there.It'll never let go, never  ever stop,
Haunting

Washed your face?
Did it help?
Can't was away the memories
tortures you in your dreamz
Won't leave you ever in light
Your ghosts reflected in the mirror
They'll just multiply
Feel like crying, don't you?

The man crossing the street
He waved at you, smiling
Couldn't he have passed by
But the truck stopped too late
The man lay asleep in his bed
His bed wet with red
Couldn't he have just passed by
Who was he?
Why did he wave?
He is a faceless man now - you'll never know
Never, ever.

the bullet whizzed past you
Inches from your face
You wonder what might have been
You turn and see
Another faceless man.
His hand raised- finger cold
Can't find him
He's lost in the crowd
Your angel of death.

The bus rattled up the bumpy road
Sheer cliffs fall down till eternity
Beyond sight and thought
you cling on for dear life
He slips but doesn't fall
The faceless man- looks you in the eye
Pleading to you - to save his life
Your life passes you by
As death stares you in the face.
So it seems,
You reach for him, but can't hold on
your fingers touch
But its too late
He wastes his life in his jump
Into eternity
His angel of death will save him
Doesn't he believe that?
Embrace him with open arms
Far below down those sheer cliffs
Your angel stands beside you.
Look behind. He smiles

When is your turn you wonder
You wonder whther one day
There'll be some last person you wave to
Someone to reach for
Someone to recognise
Before you take that fatal step
Or that jump into eternl space
You wonder whether one day
You'll be that faceless man
Haunting someone else's dreams
Turning them into nightmares
You wish it will never happen
You know the agony - know how it feels
Feeling cold?
A slight shiver,
Its your angel of death
Standing beside you, smiling.
Feel like cryin, don't you?


OKAY..... SOME CRAZY STUFF, MAN!!
