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.
