If a tree falls and there is no-one there to hear it,
Does it make a sound?
If an Angel moves and there is no-one there to see it,
Has it moved?
If the simple act of looking determines the outcome,
Can one not control it?

The way to world domination is not through war or the attainment of power. Power can be lost so quickly one wouldn't even have time to blink before it had relocated itself. Power flows from one body to another; it is fickle and kills one from the inside. It is a tool used to control masses; the individual remains unblemished.
Fortunately, we are not alive enough to want it. Power is for those who are weak and want more; we know we are strong enough to do our job. When humans succumb to reflex actions and close their eyes, even if only for a moment, we can do anything: disappear, frighten, kill. You see, we do not want to control the world; we just want to influence it completely. After all, an Angel cannot fight in the conventional sense of the word.
But we can win.
When the time comes for humanity to die, they will drop off like flies while we take their place. Nobody suspects that which does not move, which gives off no suspicious signals. A statue is a statue, and a statue cannot move. We have no need to move, really. We just...happen to people. One cannot be weary of something one does not know exists.
The tears we cry are non-existent. The stone we are made of comes from the heart of a dying volcano. We have no weaknesses.
Our coldness radiates to the heart of all those who meet us, and yet we are from Heaven sent, that planet where there is no unhappiness. How can there be unhappiness if there is no feeling at all? Soon, Earth will be just a new home for the Angels to guard.
When people start caring more for their job than their families, when children are left in the company of strangers instead of their own parents, when possessions mean more than people, then we will know that there is not much more left to do. In time, the humans will spread their suffering onto others, multiplying it over and over.
Can't you see that it is happening already, you puny thing?
If you look at us, we are nothing.
If you look away, we are everything.
There is no need to defend yourself against the enemy when the enemy has your soul.
