Elegy - Angel Without Wings Lyrics
Growing up in extreme poverty,and living in a town filled with empty promises,the young boy is filled with scepticism.He battles between right and wrong.Facing a horrifying decision, which no child should have to make,his whole life could be turned upside down.Does he listen to the wishes of his kind, but stressful mother,to remain living in poverty, and be persecuted by many?The alternative is to take a road into crime and deception,with his so called friends.Either way he'll suffer the consequences.[Verse]His mother sad, now she's left aloneNo shoulder to cry on, no hand to holdTo stay alive, worked her fingers to the boneGuilt nor shame, her child must have a homeShe tried to teach him right from wrongA town without vision, they don't belongEternal friends, persuasive liesTainted images, through sorry eyes[Bridge]Don't be shy, pull up a stool, stick with usYou'll do okayMoney talks, that's their rule,Once you join, you're here to stayyou can't walk away[Chorus]Lord knows she tried hard to save himThe angel without wings[Verse]Stigmatised, the poor, the fewOpportunities given, but not to youHe searched along the corridors of powerA fruitless journey, his darkest hour[Bridge]By any rule he doesn't play,Now he's the keeper, no-one's foolWho said crime doesn't payAll his fears have disappeared[Chorus]Lord knows she tried so hard, to save himLord knows she tried so hard, to save him[Middle-8]The angel without wingsTime, will it tell, a choice of heaven or hell[Repeat chorus]-ac
