From the recording Reclaim the Night
Lyrics
Better Angel (Track 5)
Battle-scars you know we got a few
The road goes far, seen a thing or two
And it’s hard holding your trigger finger
When you’re seeing stars and doing time travel
I don’t know how we got this way
A dark hour begun to fall
Sweet and sour has passed between our lips
Better angel pray you stay
Build the wall, roll out the barbed wire
We do the crawl below the lowered bar
Don’t forget just how you fight for it
Deep in your head older than memory
I don’t know how we got this way
The pitch black has come to call
We can’t go on we can’t turn back
Better angel pray you stay
My better angel
pray you stay
My better angel
The big fall to climb back up again
The order’s tall so find some more to show
Won’t let go, you’re not for granted friend
Heed the call, I got your number babe
I don’t know how we got this way
The darkness has come to pass
Hold on now it can’t last
Better angel pray you stay
Pray you stay
