The Angels Forgot How To Fly Lyrics - Singles - Icicle

As I begin my ascension 

Into this desperate dimension 

I realize I'm not alone 

I'm surrounded with clowns 

With ruby red frowns 

Frightened by their terrorizing tone 

They're chanting a chant 

And I know that I can't 

Escape them, I'm chilled to the bone 

They start pressing forward 

And pushing me toward 

A cross I cannot condone 

But I dare not fight back 

Now my body's gone slack 

Then as one they all start 

Start to moan 

They're feeding on me 

My fresh energy 

Is being sucked out of me violently 

I reach for my sword 

For strength I implore 

From a God who's far out of sight 

But my sword isn't there 

And I don't seem to care 

'Cause I can't find a reason to fight 

The angels forgot how to fly 

The angels forgot how to fly 

Once I was a soul 

Who was pure rock and roll 

Determined to do what was right 

Once what was pure 

Is now so obscure 

Only money is equal to might 

And what could have been warriors 

Are now victims and voyeurs 

And lawyers of average height 

In stories of dragons 

And rose covered wagons 

Lies society's same alibi 

The angels forgot how to fly 

The angels forgot how to fly 

But the clowns rule the towns 

And the drugs all surround 

The diamonds all destined to die 

Without breaking the chains 

They struggle in vain 

And search for their next humble high 

While the crooks with their crimes 

And the poets lost rhymes 

Seek the answer to why 

These souls without sins 

These fairytale men 

Left us here with this knot to untie 

The angels forgot how to fly 

The angels forgot how to fly 

The angels forgot how to fly 

The angels forgot how to fly 

As I end my ascension 

From that desperate dimension 

I look around and heave a deep sigh 

As I end my ascension 

From that desperate dimension 

I look around and heave a great sigh 

The angels forgot how to fly 

For once what was great is now a world full of hate 

The angels forgot how to fly 

For once what was great is now a world full of hate 

The angels forgot how to fly 

For once what was great is now a world full of hate 

The angels forgot how to fly 

For once what was great is now a world full of hate
