Tears as heavy as lead seek to drown the heart
Furiously unleashed, they release no-one
The desperate crying exposes
Human suffering
Mutating it through injured wings
Circling a fiery chasm this embodiment of pain
Falls heavily and helpless
The dissolving epidermis burns
With no lament from ruthless flames
As an angel with scorched wings is scarred
And its remains are placed on darkened ground
Ashes absorbed, digested and dried
By an endless void
An unsuspecting world
Refrains.
