Lost Angel (1:12)
by Amanda
 

Oh from the depths I cry to thee
From shallow waters to the deepest sea
An angel weeps with silent tears
Losing hope from wrenched fears
With shackled rings round her neck
And blood dripped wings from flying wreck
Why do you cry sweet angel Grace?
The tears of sorrow streaked down your face
Always walking down one path
Cringing low from heavens wrath
Here eyes are red from tears or pain
Pouring down like acid rain
You wake up screaming from your dreams
Your whole worlds ripping at the seems
She feels her mind has gone insane
Her cries for help were all in vain
She took a rapier from the rack
And the cut her wings right off her back
Scarlet tears fell from her eyes
Never to say her last good-byes
Oh from the depths I cried to thee
You turned away and let me be
I lost all hope but now I'm free
