lyrics

You tell me that it makes no sense and what we hold is an illusion
But a growing sense of symmetry has silenced my confusion
The darkness set my senses free and for the blinking of an eye
I saw an angel dressed in black before he faded in the night sky

I’m not looking for some common sense or a rational explanation
You don’t depend on answers when your seeking inspiration
I kept staring at the skyline in the hope that it would crack
But in my heart I think I always knew just why he was wearing black

If everything here happens for a reason
If everyone needs something to believe in
Maybe that’s why the wise men say
One day we all come back
If everything owned is really only borrowed
If everyone who leads really only follows
Maybe it’s true and I guess we knew
sometimes angels wear black
sometimes angels wear black

She took me to the darkest sea, she said it’s time I learned to swim
But in the coldest reaches of my soul I knew one day I’d give in
And surrender to the ocean waves it mattered not how hard I’d try
As I’m starting to go under, I catch an angel in the night sky

I’m not looking for earthly truths or philosophical pretention
I’m just a lost cause out at sea seeking spiritual intervention
I keep staring at the cloud filled sky in the hope that it will crack
And a ray of sun will deliver me an angel dressed in black

[Chorus x 2]
