you are the angel (heathen version)

She was taken by a vision
She was only seventeen
They said they saw her flying
Don't know why it made them mean

Black or white, and good or evil
There is something in between

To her you are the angel
That watches when she sleeps
To her you are the angel
That guides her through these streets
To her you are the angel
To her you are the angel

They just need to keep it simple
Keep us safe from the unknown
Horns and wings and lightning striking
Must be God upon his throne

"Save us from a womb of darkness"
Pray you only take your own

To them you are the devil
And everything they fear
To them you are the devil
They've been fighting you for years
To them you are the devil
To them you are the devil

Between the mud and Mary
Where the veil begins to tear
Drink the cup and hear her wisdom
And take some comfort there

But they will not believe her
They can't see you standing there

To her you are the angel
That watches when she sleeps
To her you are the angel
That guides her through these streets
To her you are the angel
To her you are the angel
