"The Angel of Death"

Words & Music by James Nihan

How am I living? Am I asleep or awake?
Am I forgiving myself my mistakes?
Do I feed my Spirit? Do I starve the Parasite?
Does the dream of the planet keep me up at night?

No guts no glory, the words are so true
I can let my old story be the one I dance to
Or I can find the power to rewrite the lines
And let my darkest hour be the one where I shine

Chorus
Angel, Sweet Angel, the Angel of Death
Can reach out and take me before my next breath
Why long for the future and live in the past
When this precious moment could be my last?

Have I told my victim to let the blame go
And the judge who protects him, the case has been closed?
Am I on a journey with joy in my heart
Or does what doesn't concern me tear me apart?

Chorus
Angel, Sweet Angel, the Angel of Death
Can reach out and take me before my next breath
Why long for the future and live in the past
When this precious moment could be my last?
Why long for the future and live in the past
When this precious moment could be my last?
