Lyrics

With a weary smile she bows her head Always look on the bright side what she always said Let her conscience overpower the spell And he couldn't see her wings until she fell As she looks down upon the prisons and the cages we all hold And all the matchstick men and matchstick guns and bombs Went up as high as heaven when we are born Maybe always hell Still her conscience overpowers the spell Of the death of an angel With her tarmac feet she walks along these desperate streets And the empty eyes and hearts of people that she meets With a shopping bag filled to the brim with light Full of hope and change and different way of life As she looks down upon the prisons and the cages we all hold And all the matchstick men and matchstick guns and bombs Went up as high as heaven when we are born Maybe always hell Still her conscience overpowers the spell Of the death of an angel And the papers on the old park benches where she lay Then waking up into this harsh reality She used to dream of a new world full of hope and change Now she goes and finds some shelter from the driving rain As she looks down upon the prisons and the cages we all hold And all the matchstick men and matchstick guns and bombs Went up as high as heaven when we are born Maybe always hell Still her conscience overpowers the spell Of the death of an angel As she looks down upon the prisons and the cages we all hold And all the matchstick men and matchstick guns and bombs Went up as high as heaven when we are born Maybe always hell Still her conscience overpowers the spell Of the death of an angel Of the death of an angel
