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 sucked 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 drugs 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
