The Better Angels Of Our Nature Lyrics - Monks Of Doom

The surgeon was at the table with his hands on a rusty saw 

The better angels of our nature were standing there in awe 

The sculptor danced with his statue and caressing the flaws in the bronze 

The patient reached out her hand and said 

"This incision seems rather long" 

Well, then the mood of the moment grew heavy 

As the pendulum pushed against gears 

Serenity can track you down in a second 

And cheat you out of your best years 

I don't know why you wanted to check out, oh, so swiftly 

When the road just comes so quickly to the end 

Your friends were holding a vigil that you'd come back to them in one piece 

But the better angels of our nature could do nothing to lessen their grief 

I am the thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glint on snow 

When you awaken in the morning hush, I am the swift uplifting rush 

Quiet birds in circled flight, I am the dark star that shines at night 

I am the fly that climbs on walls, I am the rattle in the halls 

I know you had no intention of leaving me so swiftly 

But the road just came so quickly to the end
