So sweet; so innocent, the child of heaven br Fallen into revulsion, called Earth br Calling out to the depraved to love br And be loved br br Innocent child; you are a fatuous Angel br An Angel, who should have come br Long before the conception of aversion br You could have saved the lives br of the fools that have forsaken and br destroyed what was built for them br br Angel Child, can you save the fallen world now? br I think not! br You have come much too late br Our salvation is lost! br Our hopes are dissolved in desolation br br I was once a believer, Angel Child br But now I do not know what to believe in br I do not feel br And I fear I have lost myself br I envision that tomorrow will bring yet more sorrow br Why have you come now br when life has lost its continuum br br I once dreamt of peace, purity, concord, entente br Now I dream of madness! br Madness that has invaded this world br Madness that dwells on war, violence, antipathy, perversion br And so on br br I hate the way we die in bloodshed br On what was once the Promised Land br Is it a test that God is showering on us br to consummation br br Ha! I laugh at you, because you finally made me doubt br And hope once more br Hope for change! br Hope for salvation! br br Angel you give hope and abandon us br And leave us to the wrath of humanity br Don’t do this to me! br Not now; not ever br Go away and leave me alone br br Change the world Angel; and I will venerate you! br br br br January 1998 – ©Copyright Lynette Dias-Gouveiabr br Lynette Dias Gouveiabr br
