An Angel's Retire II

 





Torment of a thousand worlds 


    No elixir to mute the writhe. 


No tempering or tonics 


  Can numb what's bred inside. 


And beneath we rouse and wane 


  Melancholies in the night. 


Stirring up emotions of storms 


  With never a land in sight. 



Worn like battered bronze 


   And tattered cloaks with which we ride


It is the battle over Heaven & Earth. 


  It is the torment of a 1000 lives. 



Trench weary, and of homeless seeking


   I'm tempted to strip the clothes from my back. 


In the distance, 


  Is a light peaking 


  A promise I was given, 


  If I ever wanted to come back.
