Archangel's Redemption

She leaned into the lips of death And took bread from his table She walked hand in hand with him Until she fell unable She was soft and gentle 'nough What a flower bright was she Girl who turned away the night So the day was loved by he Winter came, by and by Bleached meth upon the ground He saw her dance in frozen lace Poor devil swooned as she went 'round He played for her a fiddle's string This gold-crown woman held 'im To her a fiend with the whitest of wings For him a damned spirit's salvation Though the Demon was kind, tender And gave love long and often The king of death's ebony touch Built for her an ivory coffin So if you fear the devil dear I beg you, pity him For he has cried so many tears He lives inside the ocean
