Angel In Human Skin

you see me a monster
an angel in disgrace
for I plucked my wings out
just to honor the human race

inconspicuous yet dark
a disciple with a mark
all they do is lie and swear
they are always unprepared

for free will might be your gift
but their hearts are all adrift
I'm ashamed of what I've done
I can't be like everyone  

all these mortal emotions
deny me of your devotion
how can an angel be so void
when human emotions they avoid

they are right, we are wrong
God have mercy on their Souls
