and yes, we are mortal
now that we've left Eden
the raven's calling for my soul
come, dark angel, strengthen me

ablaze my rage, come, dark angel,
tear open my wounds, let me bleed
keep me free of indifference,
drink my sorrows, gorge my grief

help me to shine in godlike anger,
help me never to forget,
let me hate and let me live,
let me remember that we've met

and that you've cast your spell on me
far off lies the universe,
sunk in ashes, mud and tears,
far off lies reality

and yes, we are vulnerable,
vulnerable and earth tied
but it doesn't matter any more
come, dark angel, be my guide

before I slip into the damnation
of obedience and apathy
in a cloud of dust and blood
come, dark anger, rescue me
