The Angels Song

The angel sings 
trickles like springs 
words she sings
remind me of things
the blessings she brings
brighter then what you've ever seen 
higher than that of a thousand kings

She brings light where the shadows lurk
she is always hard at work
admire her for her persistence
her patience
how far she goes to travel the distance
and all the while
still finding resistance

Many are falling
still she sings
spreading her wings
the pain it stings
her voice still rings

no matter the means 
of continuous streams 
of fallen beings
Her voice will carry far and wide
ripping through swollen pride
it shall be felt even in hell 
around ever corner 
and in every cell
