Angels would fall

The rope that´s wrapped around me
Is cutting through my skin
And the doubts that have surrounded me
Are finding their way in
I keep it close to me
Like a holy man prays
In my desperate hour
It´s better that way
So I´ll come by and see you again
I´ll be such a very good friend
Have mercy on my soul
I will never let you know
Where my mind has been
Angels never came down
There´s no one here they want to hang around
But if they knew
If they knew you at all
Then one by one the angels
Angels would fall
I´ve crept into your temple
I have slept upon your pew
I´ve dreamed of the divinity
Inside and out of you
I want it more than truth
I can taste it on my breath
I would give my life just for a little death
So I´ll come by and see you again
I´ll be just a very good friend
I will not look upon your face
I will not touch upon your grace
Your ecclesiastic skin
I´ll come by and see you again
I´ll have to be a very good friend
If I whisper they will know
I´ll just turn around and go
You will never know my sin
Is cutting through my skin
And the doubts that have surrounded me
Are finding their way in
I keep it close to me
Like a holy man prays
In my desperate hour
It´s better that way
So I´ll come by and see you again
I´ll be such a very good friend
Have mercy on my soul
I will never let you know
Where my mind has been
Angels never came down
There´s no one here they want to hang around
But if they knew
If they knew you at all
Then one by one the angels
Angels would fall
I´ve crept into your temple
I have slept upon your pew
I´ve dreamed of the divinity
Inside and out of you
I want it more than truth
I can taste it on my breath
I would give my life just for a little death
So I´ll come by and see you again
I´ll be just a very good friend
I will not look upon your face
I will not touch upon your grace
Your ecclesiastic skin
I´ll come by and see you again
I´ll have to be a very good friend
If I whisper they will know
I´ll just turn around and go
You will never know my sin
