Dear Lord please send me an angel
For my heart has grown too weak
Dear Lord I cry out for an angel
For I have reached my suffering's peak
With tormenting waves in motion
My balance of heart and mind
Is collapsing into the ocean
Of cords which around me bind
They pull at my wrists and ankles
Keeping me stretched out thin
Twisting my bones at odd angles
Destroying my spirit from within
Yet having heard of this Heaven
With angels enough to spare
I come to thee with imperfection
Hoping despite this, you will care
This lost soul looks upon the Heavens
My Lord, please send thy grace
With patience and hope I plead thee
To look upon her trembling face
This innocent woman rejected
Does not deserve to be in this place
Where she hides from her soul dissected
By that demon with his cruel embrace
I shall not keep my angels away
From a soul in dire need
Therefore my child, you may sojourn
To this spirit who calls for thy speed
My dear Lord, please aid my departure
That my wings may be fervent and swift
May this soul receive me in rapture
May she partake of thy graceful gift
I see her now, she's shaking
With cold steel against her chest
I can almost hear her heart breaking
As she prays for peace and rest
My dagger trembles from the task at hand
Oh Lord this is my final curtain call
May my innocent death condemn this land
As the sword on my breast will fall
Yet upon my shoulder I feel a hand
Holding me sure and still
Another pulls the steel away from me
Away from its passage downhill
This woman which beside me kneels
Full of sadness and woe
Must know only the willing heart heals
While possessing seeds to sow
She holds my hand so gently
Not seeing a physical trace
Just clasping on intently
Too downtrodden to act in grace
This spirit which now holds me
Is warm and strong in might
He seems to be my own key
To a salvation of truth and light
His calluses upon my hand rough
But reassuring to the touch
Make my life not feel long enough
And my heart want to strive for much
Her breath comes out faster
In time with the beating of my heart
Looking at her, I feel warmer
As if she were the most beautiful painted art
She looks around for a person
And finds nothing but air
