The Fallen Angel

They slit my throat and skinned me alive
Took my blood and drenched the city in it
Cut me into pieces and threw me away
Now the brutal vultures feed on me everyday
They don't see that I still live
I still feel them tearing into me
Oh! Let it come, the pain and the grief
I want to burn, give me the relief
They take my flesh bit by bit
I yearn for fire, let me burn and be gone
The people are blind, they do not see
Here I lie, but no one believes
Look at my broken hands clutching at your boots
Please don't shake me off again
Oh, do you not know, you have taken my blood
It runs in your veins, in your city
In your very heart, it is keeping you alive
And yet here I die
Yet your people do not believe
Let them believe, let them be free
Why don't you come closer?
You just stare at the mutilated body
The tattered wings, distorted reality
The figure in white, drained of blood
Come closer, let me whisper in your ear
The soft songs of warmth and love
Let me sing to you, for you are lost
Listen to me, before I float away forever
Before they take from me
Every last bit of the gruesome flesh
My only token of the mortal life
Here I die tonight
Bloody fingers still clutching at your boots
Kneel by my side, breathe my life
Take me in, the Blood City is falling
Let me float away

Naked

I stand here before you
I'm hiding nothing
Then why do you refuse to see
The truth that's staring you in your face
I stand naked before you
And I want you to see
Look at me as I uncover myself
Please don't look away
Look into my naked soul
And see what you've always sought
Look at me as a whole
Don't cover me with your scorn
Peel off your doubts
And strip off your expectations
And then you will see me
For who I am
And not what you want me to be
