Concrete Angel ( from Lachrymose)
Her future became fiction
She lost her need to fly
Concrete angel, hovering nearby
Crashing like thuder
With lightning in her veins
Concrete Angel, falling like rain
He was by his lover's grave
She was barefoot in the snow
Concrete angel never has to go
Destined for heavens
A promise turned away
Concrete angel prays for him each day
He won't have to tell
His guilt will never show
Concrete angel never has to know
She loved him so lonely
Carved his name on every tree
Concrete angel never wants to leave
Sorrowful sisters weep for her
She watched them lay him low
Concrete angel guards him now below
Far from her constellation
The price she pays is dear
Concrete angel, eternity is here
Behind the iron fence
Among the trees so still
Concrete angel, bound upon the hill
