An Angel Falls

An angel falls
So fragile and exposed
Soon lies crushed and wasted
Too delicate to hold
A soulful melody
Innocent and pure
Rises to the sky
And is lost for ever more

As guilt rains down
And scars the faith of man
It flows into the ground
We will never wipe the bloodstains from our hands

A failing heart
Vulnerable and weak
Waiting for the moment
To beat the final beat
Surely there is someone who will reach out
Surely there is someone who will reach out
