Angel In Chains Lyrics

I saw you falling from the skies up above

I heard you calling "Won't you please spare me Lord

Don't cast me down" (Heaven's in my heart)

Don't cast me down

And when I found you in the cold light of dawn

I first behold you lying naked and torn

The sight of heaven in my eyes fills my heart with desire

And I am bound.

Angel in chains (Heaven's in my eyes)

Angel in chains

But there's a darkness in my heart that fears one day that you might fly

And so I clip your wings to keep you here as my prize

And they say in heaven, your redemption has been set

If you can't love your god, then love a mortal man instead

I brought you home, and I gave you everything

But I cannot loose the chains that a god has set you in

I will try to be kind

Angel in chains

Time goes by and we grow closer everyday

And when you kissed me then your shackles fall away

But there's a shadow inside that's tearing me apart

For I still keep you bound by the shackles of your heart

Chains of love

Chains of love

And I fear on judgement day my name is not amongst the saved

I confessed my sins, but they cannot be erased

When I kneel at the gates, St. Peter's turning me away

Like some discarded pawn in a higher holy game

Angel in chains

Angel in chains
