Song Lyrics

The rope that`s wrapped around me
Is cutting through my skin
And the doubts that have surrounded me
Are finding their way in
I keep it close to me
Like a holy man prays
In my desperate hour
It`s better that way

So I`ll come by and see you again
I`ll be such a very good friend
Have mercy on my soul
I will never let you know
Where my mind has been

Angels never came down
There`s no one here they want to hang around
But if they knew
If they knew you at all
Then one by one the angels
Angels would fall

I`ve crept into your temple
I have slept upon your pew
I`ve dreamed of the divinity
Inside and out of you
I want it more than truth
I can taste it on my breath
I would give my life just for a little death

So I`ll come by and see you again
I`ll be just a very good friend
I will not look upon your face
I will not touch upon your grace
Your ecclesiastic skin

Angels never came down
There`s no one here they want to hang around
But if they knew
If they knew you at all
Then one by one the angels
Angels would fall

I`ll come by and see you again
I`ll have to be a very good friend
If I whisper they will know
I`ll just turn around and go
You will never know my sin

Angels never came down
There`s no one here they want to hang around
But if they knew
If they knew you at all
Then one by one the angels
Angels would fall (2x`s)
