Angel in Black - Reverence

I always wondered just what it would be like

I would not go willingly, I’d fight it tooth and nail

But here in this moment, clinging to life

I realize all my struggling is to no avail

I am cowered before you

Your presence is so frightening

I can sense your power

Is my life over?

Covered by your wings

I know my fate is yours

Are you the cherub that has come to

Take me home?

Angel, angel in black

I know you’ve come to take me

But I can’t go back

Angel, angel in black

Please show me some mercy

And let me go back

It is clear that I am powerless before you

And all my pleading is falling on deaf ears

But my short time on earth has not been enough

And I am begging you for just a few more years
