The Human Thing To Do
Remember when we flew free out of Hell?
When the world was new, fears few, I could believe
Faith was all I need to see hope in your scared face?
I need more than faith to face this shattered reality.
Just when I feel what's real is unbelievable
My wings are nearly gone, for long I thought
I couldn't fall further. My fears came true
In your eyes are lies with damage wrought.
Tell me "it'll be okay" the way you used to whisper
But all you say "get out of my way there's work to do."
My strength is drained, not the same angel you knew
The more I try to fly- I'm losing grace, I'm losing you.
My heart and soul made you whole but now
You're leading them, treating me to stony silence
Because as a solider I'm less than the rest. I'm shaky.
On new feet trying to beat the effects of angel violence.
Forgive me, try to believe, I don't want to let you down
Nightly I hear you scream at stars, for a dream of hope renewed
I'll try harder to impress, be the best solider for you.
Following your leadership, refusing to quit. Seems the human thing to do.
