Angels

What do you wish to do with me?
My life lies in your hands
tormented as I am I can only wait
for the judgment passed that seals my fate
I live so slowly from day to day
in the hopes that I will find
an angel waiting in the wings
to take me to the light
but when I close my eyes to sleep
the rest doesn't come easy for me
the dreams shudder and moan and scream
am I the only one who knows
the direction that the wind must blow?
My faith has surely made me blind
I struggle to be released from the sins that bind
my limbs ache and tremble in fear
I know for sure the end is near
I'll find that place that slit in time
when rotten fruit grow on the vine
and angels speak not of the truth
but lies that grow right from the root
