You're mothers' child but night lays you down

Hair aflame wild look in your eyes

Naked belly to the ground

A forest fire nibbles at your veins

Crawls up your arm runs away with your mind

And burns dry thoughts like leaves

Amen

Eyes stare up but something's in the way

In the Bible only angels have wings

And the rest must wait to be saved

A dry tongue screams at the sky

But the wind just breathes words in

As a strange bird tries to fly

Amen

Pieces of us die everyday as though our flesh were hell

Such injustice, as children we are told that from God we fell

Where are my angels?

Where's my golden one?

Where's my hope now that my heros have gone?

Some are being beaten, some are being born

And some can't tell the difference anymore

Amen

Hallelujah

Hallelujah
