Guardian Angel

After tonight I'll never be the same again
I'm so awake I can't go back to sleep again
Kidnapped by an angel from this life I've lived in vain
Abducted from my punishments of everlasting pain
Submerged in sin I wear a halo of flies above my head
For the wicked I have done and all the evils I have said
"So Free yourself from guilt", she said, "Forever walk in peace"
"This self-inflicted persecution must finally rest and cease"

"Many times I've saved you from yourself, you know
The countless times throughout your life when you were low
The world and all it's wisdom still has much to learn
And the souls of all its children never live to burn"

We traveled far away to a place I've never been
For me to cast and purge and let the waters cleanse my sin
"Release your demons now. Let them come to me
And captivate your fears no more and set them free
For the world and all its wisdom still has much to learn
And the souls of all its children do not live to burn
No religion of this world has ever saved a man
Only love that's pure without condition truly can"
"So wound yourself no more and let them finally heal
And maybe when you're ready you can learn to feel
And many times I've saved you from yourself you know
The countless times throughout your life when you were low
I walked unseen amongst you as the cure of your infection
And entered through your heart my dear and passed without detection
The root of all your dreams for I am near when you're asleep
To guard you from the evil in the night when loathsome creep"
