Angels Of Ashes Lyrics - Scott 4 - Scott Walker

The Angels of Ashes 

Will give back your passions 

Again and again 

Their light shafts 

Will reach through the darkness 

And touch you my friend 

They'll fly in a mind dance 

And blind you with wings 

Wrapped in flame 

If you're down to an echo 

They just might remember 

Your name 

In the unbroken darkness 

Where emptiness empties 

Alone 

There's no starting or stopping 

Where there is no right or 

No wrong 

Well that's all right for some 

Who can hang the absurd 

On their wall 

If your blind hands can't grope 

Through these measureless waters 

You'll fall 

You've been following patterns 

And fleeting sensations 

Too long 

And the fullness that fills up 

The pulse of durations 

Is gone 

Let the great constellation 

Of flickering ashes 

Be heard 

Let them burn with a fire 

All it takes to confess 

Is a word, just a word 

I can recommend angels 

I've watched as they've made a man strong 

Oh so strong 

If your humbleness shows 

Then I'm sure that they'll take you 

Along 

You can tell them who sent you 

It might help to get you 

Above 

You can say that he laughed 

And he walked like St. Francis 

With love
