Текст песни Angels, Avenged Sevenfold

Took me years to make my motives clear
And the days have not been kind,
Once a steady gaze and charming smile
Has been buried in the lines I find,
I walk in the noise, quiet employs
And darkness seems to know just where I am.

Mother, wash the devil from my hands,
Pray the Lord I have the strength to stand.
Mother, tell me was it all a lie?
Show me where the angels die.

There are words that never found my lips,
There are words I'd soon forget,
Thought the trick was never to look back,
But it seems I've lost my grip, I slip,
The faster we run now, the closer the gun now,
And somehow all the bullets bear my name.

Mother, wash the devil from my hands,
Pray the Lord I have the strength to stand.
Mother, tell me was it all a lie?
Show me where the angels die.

Took the road but should have chased the stars,
Now I've lost my own way home,
Had a photo of the time we shared
But I burned it long ago, I know,
I struck all the matches stuck in the ashes,
Forgive me, won't you simply speak my name.

Mother, wash the devil from my hands,
Pray the Lord I have the strength to stand.
Mother, tell me was it all a lie?
Show me where the angels die.

The faster we run now, the closer the gun now,
And somehow we all found the warmth of the gun now .

Took the road but should have chased the stars,
Now I've lost my own way home,
Had a photo of the time we shared
But I burned it long ago.
