The Better Angels of Our Nature — текст песни (Monks of Doom)

The surgeon was at the table

With his hands on a rusty saw

The better angels of our nature were standing there in awe



The sculptor danced with his statue

And caressing the flaws in the bronze

The patient reached out her hand and said

"this incision seems rather long"



Well then the mood of the moment grew heavy

As the pendulum pushed against gears

Serenity can track you down in a second

And cheat you out of your best years



I dont know why you wanted

To check out oh so swiftly

When the road just comes so quickly

To the end



Your friends were holding a vigil

That youd come back to them in one piece

But the better angels of our nature could do nothing to lessen their grief



I am the thousand winds that blow

I am the diamond glint on snow

When you awaken in the morning hush

I am the swift uplifting rush



Quiet birds in circled flight

I am the dark star that shines at night

I am the fly that climbs on walls

I am the rattle in the halls



I know you had no intention

Of leaving me so swiftly

But the road just came so quickly

To the end
