Dark Angel

You are the one who leads them astray 
Healthy and fine death the next day
Dark Angel a ghost from the past 
Symbolic to many ignored by the mass

I have seen this creature of blackness
Angel of Death preying on sickness
Hiding in shadows by day flying by night
I have felt his presence hair standing upright

I prayed for the weak to protect their souls
Take me instead Dark Angel of Woes
But many a’ time he ignored my demands 
Took them away chained legs and hands

And I cried for the weak and the lost at heart
I could not save them from the Angel of Dark
Pray as I might desperately tears flowing down
Nothing worked to release the souls trodden down

I begged for the Heavens to send someone strong
A Hero of power and strength who could do no wrong
To save these merciful souls with me from terror and pain
I bowed my head I praised my Lord Pleas I said Again

The skies erupted they opened wide a bright light
Spread across the sky and Angels spread in flight
The skies were utter delight the souls elated cajoled delight
The sunrise spread the sky and the birds songs opened morning light .
