Angel Ashes

By ANGELSLAYER

Angel ashes coating my hair
Fragments of beauty strewn through the air
I sacrificed the white dove
Trying to find the essence of love

Torn wings fall to the earth
Providing the dead a new birth
Arise and prey for me
Help me find some meaning

The shallow pools of blood
Hold mysteries of life untold
Secrets that died on seraphim lips
Questions unanswered by gleaming knife tips

Drops of heaven splatter my face
Bleeding a fallen god's disgrace
The familiar despair washes me clean
Now I'm free to dream

Released from a tyrant's grip
All my sins begin to slip
To run  down my cheeks
Until I taste Their filth on my lips

Now the numbness spreads through me
Is this what I was meant to be
