The Angels

The Angels

The gate now stands there before us
Guarded by the angels as they watch us with unhiddden envy and wonder
For they were created for our guidance, comfort, and protection
They fail to possess our gift of free will

Man, they say was created in the image of God
Seems bent on his own destruction, regardless of the earths' cost
Remember, it was our rebellious nature that cost us Eden
Our need for bloodshed that caused the Messiah to hang upon a cross

War is more about the love of money, then about our freedom
The rich stay safe, and get fatter as our loved one are sacrificed and left to die
Thinly guised hatred, and propaganda that are nothing but lies
Falsely claiming it is for glory,honor and freedom that in the grave we lie

Every city, every town, and every country in this world
Is guilty of and stained by all this needless bloodshed and death
If it is here upon our soil it bears the name of terrorism and crime
Yet, upon another's shore, we are called courageous, and heros

As we are watched and envied by those angels
I wonder if they ever break down and just cry
And for a time give thanks for thier eternal status
When faced with our heinous crimes, the darkness of our hearts
