Angel

By Mandolin Thorne

--

Challenge me and my convictions

Cover me in premonitions

“The Nephilim are sleeping still!”

...but they’re asking me to kill

Stray renegades among the Fae

Warned You it would be this way

I know it’s so, for I was told

While in the Faerie Lands of gold

Where we awakened slow and lazy

The nature of our essence hazy

“It is time to go.” they said

“For all the world believes you dead.”

Now fire is hot; fire it burns

Up from the ashes a Pheonix returns

So deadly quick and razor- sharp

You can’t feel you’re torn apart

By calm blue eyes in shadow tone

By Gods made up of flesh and bone

It’s not my fault that I fell down

Fuck you and your thorny crown

I’ll eat my brothers, sisters, too

Master, I’m no slave to you

Stripped my wings? I stole a soul!

An Angel with no self-control

Isn’t is scary? Isn’t it fun?

You always knew I’d be the one

Though lonely for lost camaraderie

I found some ground between Satan and me
