Angel of Solitude

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Alias] I arrive on a breath of velvet wind Begin, enter darkness unseen by those who haven't sinned Slowly step in time with raindrops pelting the earth and soil Quietness to calm the turmoil Slipping into darkness, different than Mr. Lewis I hear "Who's this walking across my lawn?" My workday begins at breaking dawn With each revolution around that star How will these souls know me When they don't even know who they are? I'm the one who eases blood pressure and eliminates stress Yet doctors work against me And even though they tried their best I'll rest assured That I'll inevitably triumph over their attempts, it's feeble Cause they don't understand that their temps and what they've been granted What they've planted will remain, it's a cycle Just like the rain I step in time with today It falls for the sole purpose of washing all your tears away [Verse 2: Alias] As I stroll silently amongst the shadows I see that I'm between nothingness and eternity I'm the last one you see before your journey And the one who releases answers to your uncertainty Some wish to seek shelter from the rain Thinking they would be avoided by me and my glances inside their brain Look past (hail) thoughts and the occasional tumor To understand how you truly feel How will I approach this case? Thought to self: look on face for any signs of anxiousness Unhappy with lifestyle i.e. armloads of thanklessness And it is this that gives me my direction Of what they seek My open arms of protection Are waiting for the innocent and meek To come towards me and say "Let me hear your voice" At that point there's no looking back This is when your soul comes undone And you and your creator once again become one For I will talk about how they have led a fulfilling life, in fact That's when they react with a deep exhale Close their eyes, then turn pale, brief For I've taken their hand And taken them through their life In a three-second span Decisions, decisions, should I stay or should I go? Coming with me right now would mean absolutely nothing at all But if they stay to clean up messes We'll have to sit and tell them that today's dreams are tomorrow's successes But you still have time, buy your toys, make the most of it Until I return for your departure Or until my voice becomes clear to start your Journey Into... solitude
