my angel's wings keep me warm
last time ill fight this horrible storm
i tried hard i believe in heaven
crimson stains his wings again
my eyes are fogged with tears of blood
you never knew how much i cried
you never knew how bad it hurt
you never saw me that one last time
i smashed the mirrors and wrote this rhyme
for all to see why my angels wings
are smeared with blood he couldnt scream
noone hears my angels pleas
but noone cared to hear but me
he held me long until i slept
mother found me, but no tears she wept
she knew my secrets she saw my heart
she heard my angel, but didnt stop
she kept on staring into space instead
held an image of you in her head
she knew the worst was yet to come
but this was better--a muse's song
turn your eyes for this may hurt
i walked away from god and church
i never begged for help when i knew
my end was near--no future soon
bloody tears tell my story
my angel watched my life roll on
wrapped in crimson wings stories go on
tell me now what could have been
if you only would have stopped to listen
to what i said and what i cried
my angel fell from heaven and died
crimson tears stain his wings
dont hold on my love
i can never hold you again

So tragic and despairing, and very expressive. Can't the angel find any hope at all, I wonder?
Reminds me of Graham Greene's novels.
