[00:00.22]Angels of Ashes - Scott Walker
[00:02.03].
[00:08.17]The Angels of Ashes
[00:11.99]will give back your passions
[00:15.74]Again and again
[00:19.16].
[00:23.53]Their light shafts
[00:25.41]will reach through the darkness
[00:29.19]and touch you my friend
[00:33.64].
[00:39.17]They'll fly in a mind dance
[00:43.16]and blind you with wings
[00:46.44]wrapped in flame
[00:50.63].
[00:54.57]If you're down to an echo
[00:58.82]they just might remember
[01:02.00]your name
[01:04.30].
[01:10.05]In the unbroken darkness
[01:14.47]where emptiness empties
[01:17.60]alone
[01:19.22].
[01:21.10]
[01:25.41]There's no starting or stopping
[01:29.76]where there is no right or
[01:32.88]no wrong
[01:35.94].
[01:41.01]Well that's all right for some
[01:44.98]who can hang the absurd
[01:48.04]on their wall
[01:50.60].
[01:56.29]If your blind hands can't grope
[02:00.60]through these measureless waters
[02:03.54]you'll fall
[02:06.29].
[02:11.66]You've been following patterns
[02:15.71]and fleeting sensations
[02:19.07]too long
[02:22.32].
[02:27.01]And the fullness that fills up
[02:31.10]the pulse of durations
[02:35.07]is gone
[02:38.05].
[02:42.60]Let the great constellation
[02:45.85]of flickering ashes
[02:49.71]be heard
[02:53.33].
[02:57.96]Let them burn with a fire
[03:02.09]all it takes to confess
[03:05.33]is a word, just a word
[03:11.02].
[03:13.27]I can recommend angels
[03:17.48]I've watched as they've made a man strong
[03:23.90]Oh so strong
[03:26.70].
[03:28.81]If your humbleness shows
[03:32.20]then I'm sure that they'll take you
[03:35.68]along
[03:37.62].
[03:43.99]You can tell them who sent you
[03:47.62]it might help to get you
[03:50.74]above
[03:53.85].
[03:58.52]You can say that he laughed
[04:02.15]and he walked like St. Francis
[04:06.20]With love
[04:09.76].
