Dark Angel

A dark fog rolls into the bay At the time the child becomes a run away Another vagabond for this world He ran away To leave behind everything he knows Leaving his feelings in a broken home And he is left out in the cold With no body to hold And fades away Dark Angel Take this broken soul away And give him a home Give him a home Give him a home in hell to stay Dark Angel Claim this tortured soul tonight And give him sanctuary Sanctuary Sanctuary And the child now alone and helpless His face is dirty and scarred for life But he soldiers on, relying solely on his will He jumps at shadows And he hides his face from the light As he tries to disappear And he never shed a tear Knowing by the day that you drew nearer But still his mind stayed the same, his body warmed by the flames Dark Angel Take this hurting soul away And give him a home Give him a home Give him a home in hell to stay Dark Angel Claim this tortured soul tonight And give him sanctuary Sanctuary Sanctuary And we stand tall And our gaze never falters On this mountain We raise our flag in defiance And now we cry Dark Angel Take this tortured soul away And give him a home Give him a home Give him a home in hell to stay Dark Angel Claim this broken life tonight And give him sanctuary Sanctuary Give him sanctuary from his life today Now he can fall asleep And leave it all behind Sleeping in the falling rain Melting away with the rain Dark Angel Will you take this life away? Please give him sanctuary Sanctuary Give him sanctuary in the coming flames
