The Angels Lament

The Screams of the angels will deafen Those with the conscience to hear As the weight of millenia fades So too does the weight of their fear The sun at the crest of the morning As vast as the lives it maintains From the depths of the bottomless oceans To the peaks of the highest mountains chorus There're fewer tomorrows than yesterdays No promises written in stone But Lord as I need you, you answer And I know then I'm not so alone Lord as I need you, you answer I know now I'm not so alone Mankind is engrossed in his profit No interest where nothing's to gain Apostles of doubt with no prophet No guide to salvation again As fish in the realms of the ocean Lost in this sea of despair While silver is lining their pockets A Judas will always be near chorus There're fewer tomorrows than yesterdays No promises written in stone But Lord as I need you, you answer And I know then I'm not so alone Lord as I need you, you answer I Know now I'm not so alone First money then later comes power 'Tis the flaw in the nature of man To take but a little's more noble Than to scavenge for all that you can I Firmly believe in a GOD A creator of all, good and bad Who's laid everything here at our feet Yet we're endlessly making HIM sad ......................................................
