An angel flies away

When we're born,

An angel grows it's wings,

Pure white innocence,

A halo lights our heads.

I remember pink and gold,

Never thought that they'd get old.

Staring into bright blue eyes,

Safe night full of lullabies.

As we begin to grow,

Our halos start to fall,

We begin to see,

The world for what it really is,

A shadow of grey,

A shell of life.

Then I stepped out of the light,

I saw black and I saw grey,

I felt blood,

I heard screams,

Glimpsed a spark of light,

Wished for the music of our dreams.

When we're old enough,

Our angel flies away,

A demon takes it's place,

What once was pure,

Now is dark,

Reality becomes a cold abyss.

When we're born,

An angel grows it's wings.

As we begin to grow,

Our halos start to fall.

When we're old enough,

Our angel flies away,

A demon takes it's place.
