Angels Lair
You pluck an Angel from the heavens
And lure her to your lair
Assuring her of passion
Assuring her safety there
You light the world on fire around her
Watching her as she dances
In the flames of your promises
Embers of forever and 2nd chances
You never let a flame touch her
Always protecting her with care
Is this fire going to burn her?
Only sands of time will tell
You never meant to destroy her
You never meant her harm
But what else happens to an angel in hell
When you take one on your arm
You tire of fanning the flame
So you turn and walk away
The angel that you knew and loved
Now doesn't know her place
She stays behind in the ashes
Realizing how badly her wings were burned
And now she wanders in hell
Only awaiting your return
She made friends with her demons
They taught her how to survive
But it still isn't home without you
Not somewhere she can thrive
Tired of waiting and crying
She sees she is on her own
She knows it's time get going
Its a long walk to get back home.
