Evil Angel

For to see my depth of sorrow
You are not allowed to follow me
Into this town square
And then run away
Evil angel with your cleft tongue
When you kissed me
On this town square
All the lights came on at sunset
Thought you'd stay
Evil angel bearing apples
When you kissed me
On this drawbridge
As the boats do
How was I to know you'd flee
Tear down these monuments
Bury the coat of arms
And build for me a factory
Evil angel when you're faced with hatred's
Daggers in my honor
You're no match no scratching hearts that no longer bleed
Oh Evil angel tear down the monuments
Evil angel bury the coat of arms
And rebuild for me these memories
For to see my depth of sorrow
