Secret Angels



I told you tales of ghosts of yesterday

Sent shivers down your spine

In oneness mind to mind you joined my history

 

I showed you horrors from the past

I dreaded they would last

And drain away the hope, the air, the mystery

 

The trumpet sounded, who are these I see

Now come around to me as family?

 

    As one the secret angels rally round to join the fight

    Throw back the creatures who would turn the day into the night

 

I see the fears behind the human face

The secret tears behind the grace

Your own ghosts peeping from behind the mists of time

 

Could you believe that I would join the dark

Align myself with those who hurt

Join forces with the sick and all that I despise?

 

The phoenix flame has burned away a layer of skin

The vampire's shadow blown away by angel's wings

 

    As one the secret angels rally round to join the fight

    Throw back the creatures who would turn the day into the night

 

And one, a secret angel came to soothe the pain away

Her beauty seeking out the final door, the open way

 

She holds her own tears well inside but I can see

My turn has come, my wings are strong,

And I will carry her aloft

Above the mists and soothe her fears

And hold her closer to me, closer... closer...

 

    And we the laughing humans come around into the light

    And some achieve the strength to heal the broken minds that hide within the night.
