Angels Lyrics - Avenged Sevenfold

Took me years to make my motives clear 

And the days have not been kind 

Once a steady gaze and charming smile 

Has been buried in the lines I find 

I walk in the noise, quiet employs 

And darkness seems to know just where I am 

Mother wash the devil from my hands 

Pray the Lord I have the strength to stand 

Mother tell me was it all a lie? 

Show me where the angels die 

There are words that never found my lips 

There are words I'd soon forget 

Thought the trick was never to look back 

But it seems I've lost my grip, I slip 

The faster we run now, the closer the gun now 

And somehow all the bullets bear my name

Mother wash the devil from my hands 

Pray the Lord I have the strength to stand 

Mother tell me was it all a lie? 

Show me where the angels die 

Took the road but should have chased the stars 

Now I've lost my own way home 

Had a photo of the time we shared 

But I burned it long ago, I know 

I struck the matches stuck in the ashes 

Forgive me, won't you simply speak my name 

Mother wash the devil from my hands 

Pray the Lord I have the strength to stand 

Mother tell me was it all a lie? 

Show me where the angels die

The faster we run now, the closer the gun now 

And somehow we all found the warmth of the gun now 

Took the road but should have chased the stars 

Now I've lost my own way home 

Had a photo of the time we shared 

But I burned it long ago
