lyrics

You’re following me through the throng
You’re singing me the same old song
You’re sorry that you did me wrong
And I’m an angel in your eyes

But angels have a thousand eyes
And roll around on wheels of fire
And wear the visage of a lion
Six wings to hide it all behind

Your voice is cutting through the fray
She didn’t mean a thing, you say
You promise me you’ll change your ways
I’ll be the princess in your life

But princesses set fire to towns
And bury soldiers underground
And plot against their king and crown
And die in battle for their rights

You can name me
And the name will make it real
But you can’t expect to like what you find

You’ll still your sickle tongue, you say
No longer wield your words to slay
You’ll free me from beneath your sway
You’ll call me goddess from now on

But goddesses dance on the dead
Wear necklaces of severed heads
And turn to cats within your bed
And still you’ll praise them when they’re gone

You can name me
And the name will make it real
But it doesn’t make it right
And it doesn’t make me nice
And you can’t expect to like what you find

So if you will pursue me more
You’ll see me in my truest form
I’ll be there with my flaming sword
The angel with a thousand eyes
The angel with a thousand eyes
