A thousand tears I have shed
A million hearts before my very eyes bled
Broken down to my knees
The Devil deaf to my merciful pleas
CHORUS:
Silver feathers torn to shreds
Red blood upon my shoulder
Down on my knees in the depths of hell
God, have mercy on this fallen angel
I lay me down to sleep
The Devil has my soul forever to keep
Freedom's dream is my vice
But I don't know if I dare pay the price
For what is freedom,
But a way to weigh you down?
A match to burning fire
A cup of water when you drown?
Three tender souls are the cost
If I walk free their lives forever are lost
Should I go or stay?
I just don't know 'cause it's Hell either way
How long in torture must I lie?
By God, I wish to Hell that angels could die!
God have mercy on me!
