[Verse 1]
From the book of life
Comes a rider for the damned
And he wields the scythe
As he rides across the land

[Pre-Chorus]
But when he comes
You'll never know
Then it's time for you to leave the world

[Chorus]
Mother Angel, tell me why
Is it cool up in the sky?
Was it time for you to disappear and go?
Is there something I should know?
Was it time for you to go?
Waiting for a sign from you
To let me know
Here on my own

[Verse 2]
From the ashes we do come
To the ashes we shall go
And the dust that we were made of
Shall embrace our very soul
All the times that we don't know
Make it harder to believe in god
And heaven above
[Chorus]
So, Mother Angel, tell me why
Is it cool up in the sky?
Was it time for you to disappear and go?
Is there something I should know?
Was it time for you to go?
Waiting for a sign from you
To let me know
Here on my own

[Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
My hands reach out into thin air
And the truth is hard to bear
No one comes to bring you back again

[Chorus]
Mother Angel, tell me why
Is it cool up in the sky?
Was it time for you to disappear and go?
Is there something I should know?
Was it time for you to go?
Waiting for a sign from you
To let me know
I'm here on my own
[Outro]
Here on my own
Here on my own
