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
