The Angel on the Other Side (You Are The Angel)

There is a reason for my blood
to keep running through my veins,
for me to look upon your beauty
before the oceans wane.

You are the angel,
who is always gone,
lost in constant flight.
You are the angel,
you are the one,
on the other side of night.

There is a reason for it all
to be set in unjust ways,
for one to hear your siren’s call
gladly drowning in nearby waves.

You are the angel,
who is always gone,
standing just outside the light.
You are the angel,
who steals the dawn,
on the other side of night.



Take me home
