Angel

Gene · Revelations [1999]

Angel, some have it hard

Ambition mocked then barred

But we're created half to rise

Half to fall



Angel, this is your path

Past generations laugh

You were created in the shadows

A real fathers son

So here we go again



If your background

Steps into the foreground

They'll lock you away

Ignore the instincts to stay down

Keep history at bay

You'll have your day



Angel, you can't be blamed

You know no other way

Here's to your children

Why not just free them

And stop the pain

So here we go again



If your background

Steps into the foreground

They'll lock you away

Ignore the instincts to stay down

Keep history at bay

You'll have your day



Angel, you've done the work

You've had your seed dispersed

You've created one half to rise

One half to fall
