Wait For The Angel

I wait for the angel

Hope they got wings for a rebel,

To fly me away from this hell

I’m tucked into like a tunnel.

I wait for the angel

Of righteousness to cast a spell

And boost me till my fears dispel

And rain down vowels like a bell.

I wait for the angel

To bring me hope in my Bethel

And in this despair raise a citadel

That thwarts the pace of shrapnel.

I wait for the angel

Come and deliver this Abel

Before my sacrifices compel

The Cains of this age to rebel.

I wait for the angel

Right here at the foot of the stairwell

I will wait to meet my Gabri-El

To filter out the lies of Jezebel.
