Assemblage 23
The Angels Died (1994)
A life begins, the body thrown out
Confronted by anger, fear, and doubt
Toxic fumes rip open lungs
The ladder of life is missing rungs

Sleeping where the angels died

Trees lose leaves, the skin peels free
Bloodstained beaches, rotting teeth
Dripping poison chemical food
Wires and bodies, blood in the moon

Sleeping where the angels died

Water rising, demonic force
Destroys all within its course
Fire on the brain, rioting and violence
Ends so suddenly in the sound of silence

Sleeping where the angels died

I'm sleeping where the angels died
And God's laughing as the angels die
I'm sleeping where the angels died
And God's laughing as the angels die
