Army of Angels
by Aaron Spiro

Album: The Story, Vol. 1

They took you out
Stripped off your clothes
Spit on your face
While the raven crows
They beat you down
Like a criminal
And raised you up like a king
So, so cynical
They dressed you up
Mocked you like a fool
'Hail to the King of the Jews'
Why not call
An army of angels to fall
Why not curse
The ends of the earth
Why not save yourself
Let blame fall on someone else
Why did you have to die?
They led you outside
The city walls
Like a lamb to the slaughter
No resistance at all
They nailed you up
To a dead man's tree
They bled you out
For all the world to see
The sun burnt out
The sky turned black
One last breathe
The father turned his back
Why not call
An army of angels to fall
Why not curse
The ends of the earth
Was there any other way?
To make it all go away
Why did you have to die?
