Sometimes Angels Wear Black

You tell me that it makes no sense and what we hold is an illusion

But a growing sense of symmetry has silenced my confusion

The darkness set my senses free and for the blinking of an eye

I saw an angel dressed in black before he faded in the night sky

I’m not looking for some common sense or a rational explanation

You don’t depend on answers when your seeking inspiration

I kept staring at the skyline in the hope that it would crack

But in my heart I think I always knew just why he was wearing black

If everything here happens for a reason

If everyone needs something to believe in

Maybe that’s why the wise men say

One day we all come back

If everything owned is really only borrowed

If everyone who leads really only follows

Maybe it’s true and I guess we knew

sometimes angels wear black

sometimes angels wear black

She took me to the darkest sea, she said it’s time I learned to swim

But in the coldest reaches of my soul I knew one day I’d give in

And surrender to the ocean waves it mattered not how hard I’d try

As I’m starting to go under, I catch an angel in the night sky

I’m not looking for earthly truths or philosophical pretention

I’m just a lost cause out at sea seeking spiritual intervention

I keep staring at the cloud filled sky in the hope that it will crack

And a ray of sun will deliver me an angel dressed in black

[Chorus x 2]
