Burden Of The Angel Beast lyrics

From the lying mirror to the movement of stars
Everybody`s looking for who they are
Those who know don`t have the words to tell
And the ones with the words don`t know too well

Chorus:

Could be the famine
Could be the feast
Could be the pusher
Could be the priest
Always ourselves we love the least
That`s the burden of the angelbeast

Birds of paradise -- birds of prey
Here tomorrow, gone today
Cross my forehead, cross my palm
Don`t cross me or I`ll do you harm

[Chorus]

We go crying, we come laughing
Never understand the time we`re passing
Kill for money, die for love
Whatever was God thinking of?

[Chorus]
