The Smoky Rose and the Angel

The smoky rose burns bright in the embers of my soul From paradise to earth the angels fall softly Wrapping their wings around me They keep me hanging on They keep me hanging on I see the colors of heaven dancing like doves And I feel the love It's like a flower in the dark Whispers of lonesome breathes disappear When the angels come near me, I keep hanging on I keep hanging on Angels, they keep me hanging on Until the rose has turned to fired embers Without a sound she rises from the ashes Of the past, alive reseeded Re-magnetised, I'm hanging on, cuz they never gonna leave me The angels, they keep me hanging on Forever. Her petals never shall wilt again They will upsurge in every peak of passion For when the body dies, the love of the thriving remains It keeps me hanging on It keeps me hanging on My heart wrings from the sheer honesty Of her echoing choruses I feel peace from the matchless aroma Their wings are wafting me to sleep I wish only to dream in her grip To catch her transparent essence Keep me hanging on Keep me hanging on With a strike of love With a wick ever sustaining And a flame ever burning Downward to the dust, Upward to the heavens I will know that I am needed I will know that I am real -- This was a collaboration written with Mystic Rose Inspired by the song Magnetised, by Tom Odell, and the picture above.
