As I begin my ascension Into this desperate dimension I realize I'm not alone I'm surrounded with clowns With ruby red frowns Frightened by their terrorizing tone They're chanting a chant And I know that I can't Escape them, I'm chilled to the bone They start pressing forward And pushing me toward A cross I cannot condone But I dare not fight back Now my body's gone slack Then as one they all start Start to moan They're feeding on me My fresh energy Is being s**ed out of me violently I reach for my sword For strength I implore From a God who's far out of sight But my sword isn't there And I don't seem to care 'Cause I can't find a reason to fight The angels forgot how to fly The angels forgot how to fly Once I was a soul Who was pure rock and roll Determined to do what was right Once what was pure Is now so obscure Only money is equal to might And what could have been warriors Are now victims and voyeurs And lawyers of average height In stories of dragons And rose covered wagons Lies society's same alibi The angels forgot how to fly
The angels forgot how to fly But the clowns rule the towns And the d** all surround The diamonds all destined to die Without breaking the chains They struggle in vain And search for their next humble high While the crooks with their crimes And the poets lost rhymes Seek the answer to why These souls without sins These fairytale men Left us here with this knot to untie The angels forgot how to fly The angels forgot how to fly The angels forgot how to fly The angels forgot how to fly As I end my ascension From that desperate dimension I look around and heave a deep sigh As I end my ascension From that desperate dimension I look around and heave a great sigh The angels forgot how to fly For once what was great is now a world full of hate The angels forgot how to fly For once what was great is now a world full of hate The angels forgot how to fly For once what was great is now a world full of hate The angels forgot how to fly For once what was great is now a world full of hate
