Hell of Angels

Another shot to kill the lightThat burns behind these hollow eyesThe bottle sings a siren's tuneBeneath a broken bloody moonI chase the dragon, drink the flameTo wash the sin away in shameA toast to ghosts I'll never knowAnother round, another low

And I am drowning in the Hell of AngelsWhere the wine turns to rust on my tongueFalling, falling through the Hell of AngelsThese wings of lead that drag me downScreaming out for just one moreAs I knock on the devil's door

The glass is empty, the room spins 'roundA thousand voices, not a soundMy father's rage, my mother's tearsAre drowned in whiskey, drowned for yearsI built a throne from empty cansAnd took the devil by the handHe smiled and said"My son, you're mineForever lost in the cheap red wine"

And I am drowning in the Hell of AngelsWhere the wine turns to rust on my tongueFalling, falling through the Hell of AngelsThese wings of lead that drag me downScreaming out for just one moreAs I knock on the devil's door

Is this the peace I fought to findThis poison numbing up my mindAre these the angels you promised meJust demons setting me freeThey whisper sweetly"Take the cupAnd drink until you've had enough"But enough is a lie, it's a hole in my soulAnd I'm losing all control

I am drowning in this hell of angelsThe wine has turned to blood on my tongueDying here in this hell of angelsThese wings of lead that drag me downNo more morning, no more lightJust another endless drunken night
