lyrics

The First Time I Saw Angels

The first time I saw angels
I drew my final shallow breath
They told me “that’s sure to be the last time
That you’ll trust that cunt called death”
I really should have seen it coming
It was only by their smiles that I could tell
That those angels aren’t from heaven
That fucker sent me straight to hell

Well, he promised me such beauty when he held me in his arms
A place to reunite with loved ones
A place I’m free from harm
A paradise of serenity
A place to make you glad you died
But if flames are your idea of funny
I’d hate to see what makes you cry

You took me in your arms
And you took me down
You took me in, you took me in

They must have closed the gates to heaven
When I closed my doors on you
Why I did it with such vindictiveness
I’ve never really been quite sure
Having never knowingly sinned before
You can imagine my surprise
There were no wings, no harps, no halos,
No clouds, celestial or otherwise

You took me in your arms
And you took me down
You took me in, you took me in
