Blood of an Angel - Praying Mantis

Requesting forgiveness

Emotions we’d always hide

Facing up to reality

For this passion versus pride

Turn back tomorrow,

Turn your back on yesterday

Run from the memories,

But the guilt is here to stay

Every moment has its darkness

Tearful thoughts that build the scene

Cast a shadow of pretension

Repeat in your every dream

Turn back tomorrow,

Turn your back on yesterday

Run from the memories,

But the guilt is here to stay

A life is gone it won’t repeat

Don’t believe it’s your soul to keep

For now, I still can taste,

The blood of an angel

So here we lie, the heart so bare

The victims of this world we share

And now, I still can taste,

The blood of an angel

The face of such loneliness

Is the one I’ll always see?

Reflections I see of me

A life is gone it won’t repeat

Don’t believe it’s your soul to keep

For now, I still can taste,

The blood of an angel

So here we lie, the heart so bare

The victims of this world we share

And now, I still can taste,

The blood of an angel
