Burden Of The Angel/Beast

4 views

Lyrics

From the lying mirror to the movement of stars
 Everybody's looking for who they are
 Those who know don't have the words to tell
 And the ones with the words don't know too well
 Chorus:
 Could be the famine
 Could be the feast
 Could be the pusher
 Could be the priest
 Always ourselves we love the least
 That's the burden of the angel/beast
 Birds of paradise -- birds of prey
 Here tomorrow, gone today
 Cross my forehead, cross my palm
 Don't cross me or I'll do you harm
 [Chorus]
 We go crying, we come laughing
 Never understand the time we're passing
 Kill for money, die for love
 Whatever was God thinking of?
 [Chorus]
