Tears of Angels

He lowers his face, tears hidden in the rain
pouring in the open grave, bringin the pain
Rose dropped on her coffin, handful of dirt poured on the lid
they’re all cryin, mournin a tragedy fate forgot to forbid

Starin up askin why oh why?
do ya let the evil ones live, the good ones die?
Thundering above, lightning in the sky
waitin for answers, gettin no reply
only feeling the teardrops
as the Angels cry

Tears rollin down his face
fists clenched in angered disgrace
when does it end? he wants to say
there’s only silence as the devil gets his way

starin up askin why oh why?
Do ya let the evil ones live and the good ones die?
It’s stormin above, a crack of lightning in the sky
waitin for the answer, gettin no reply
only the feelin teardrops
as the Angels cry

Year gone by dead in the grave
he visits, a heart no one could save
talks to her, puttin new flowers in the vase
wound too deep, still angry nor word of grace

starin up at heaven, why oh why?
do ya let the evil ones live, the good ones die?
Thunder and hail from above, it’s a ligtning shadow sky
never an answer, get no reply
all we can feel are the teardrops
as the Angels cry

Can’t take anymore, he’s got iron in his hands
tastin the barrel, thinks of the wickedness of man
can’t fill the hole in his chest, no stopping the pang
keep on going or does it end in a bang?

why oh why?
not gettin any answers no reply
all there is are teardrops
as the Angels cry.

Tears of Angels by

started the 1st lyric in 08 and forgot about it, but always meaning to return and finish this. written as a song, though I’ve no idea what it should sound like or if it’s even good as a song. at least I can say I finished it.

About Ashley Huston

I never have a total plan when painting, only a vague idea and haven’t cultivated my own unique techniques, which is why some works can look very different from one another.

you can visit my Etsy shop for the original works.
