Album: A Mended Rhyme (1997)

But Angels Shine


From a glade was heard songs of angels that blessed the land Now the time
of their arrival was predicted years ago and now they shine
In the time before the ravings of the dark cloaked men began Men had lived
in peace for ages and they'd lived from of the land Now their lives all
changed from better to a state still growing worse And the ravings of the
cloaked men promised darkness in return
But angels shine

See the bitter heart sow darkness summon clouds to hide the sun and they
tower up before you and they cover up the sky Hear them sing their songs of
hardship under moon that none can see Hear them chant, yes hear them raving
for the tide to turn on me
But angels shine

Then from far away from a land unknown came a man so thin you could see his
bones 'said when I am gone and the night is still and a few good hearts all
unite in will then they pray along with the prayers of mine and the dark
men fall as the angels shine
