The sky of success is not far away,
It can easily be kissed I can say,
So many miles I have to go,
So many things to know!
I have myriad hearts to win,
Loads of works to begin,
The ocean of creativity,
I must cross utterly.
It’s my time to reach the sky,
It’s my time to fly!
Someday, sweet surrender
You'll have me by your means
Will you take me softly?
Will you make me scream?
Someday, sweet surrender
Your laugh will be the last
Upon my deafening ears, linger
I'm falling to your grasp
Someday, sweet surrender
My memories will surface, tenfold
Hushing my mind to silence
A lonely descent into the cold
Someday, sweet surrender
The fireflies will fly, high
Above, below, around me
Ashes dance upon the sky

If I were an angel
I'd sit down and cry
Because I feel so helpless
I can't do anything as I watch the world die
I can't seem to figure a way to clean up the mess
All I can do is linger and wait
Wait here above the clouds in the sky
Once again a life is taken because of hate
As I caress my wings I sit and begin to sigh
Today no one can help not even fate
I must go now
I better hurry before I am late
So many souls not enough time to do it all
I don't know how
Greeting each man woman and child at the golden gate
Each waiting for me to to do my name call
There are too many rushing to get in
I ask them to line up against the cloud wall
I then tell them
This isn't a competition no ones going to win
So please walk slow
Your turn wil come around
Even though in the back of my mind
I know the line will only begin to grow
So please wait and be kind
People stand there sad as can be
Walking without making a sound
Their loved ones they no longer can see
But if they look into thier heart
The loved ones can be found
They truely never did part
The pain they felt is free
If I were an angel I would find a way
To put this evil vibe in the world to rest
Every night I pray for that very day
But every day seems to be a test
I don't know what to do or say
All I can do is my best
Greet each person with respect
Wrap my wings around them and hold on tight
I will guard them from neglect
I will try to make things right
I'm their angel now
I will protect them the best that I can
Living in heaven I will show them how
Right next to thier side
I will forever stand
The truth to them I will never hide

The wind on my face
The clouds thick before my eyes
So soft like cotton balls
The feeling like lace
My angel calls
Keeping my grip
As my angel flies
Holding on so tight
As we take to the bluest of skies
Such a beautiful sight
As we get up so high
Such an awesome view
From my angels wings
Flying next to the birds
Who fly among us
Up in this heavenly blis
I feel so light
So free
Down on earth
I surely don't miss
It is definitely a gorgeous sight
I can not wait until that day
I have a pair of of my own wings
I can't wait until I'm on my way
Because up here
Time for me stands still
I have no fear
I have stress
With the pink blues and reds
This joy it fills my heart
Up here my life is calm
Not a complete mess
Unlike down on earth
Where my mind is never at rest
Always fighting the demons inside me
Everyday God putting us through these tests
I want to stay up here with my angel
I want to remain free as I do
I want to remain as I be
On my angels wing
Feeling happy and free
And listen to the melody she sings

How long till I fly
The time spent
It's as it's meant
Wondering if I'll get that high
For now I can only sigh
Wanting to know how long till I fly
Wanting to know if I will reach the sky
If I don't reach it soon I'll just die
So close I could touch
Finally I see the stars
This moment means too much
This is the time I will fly
I will reach my goal
Today I will pay the toll
I will reach the never ending sky

Original Arabic title,
Al Azif, Necronomicon;
Noise of desert insects,
Buzzing around...
The howling of demons
Is this very sound.
When one day you read aloud
From the pages of a Grimoire
And a insect, a fly, comes out
Then stop reading or shout out!
They think I’m an angel
And they’re right, I guess
A fallen being of light
Now just a shadow of former glory
I gave my immortality
To the mortal I loved
And she threw it away
Without second thought
I can no longer fly
I try to repair these torn off wings
With the broken pieces of wedding rings
As the air around me turns to ash
Ashes to ashes and from ash to dust
Is this what mortality is like?
Is this the ravages of time on me?
But with my death, I find life
With my mortality, I enter the immortal
For Death, is only the beginning.
RoC me gently,
RoC me boldly,
You smoothe me out,
You heart and soul me,
Wave the wonder of your words,
Like flower petals luring hummingbirds.
Rock me tender,
Rock me sweet,
This stardust lands upon my feet,
Tingling toes and inch by inch,
So freely twirling, it's a cinch,
Fly me, fling me, let me soar,
Now and forever, my love,
More, more, more!!!

There comes a time when your surroundings becomes too familiar.
you know every pothole,
every crack in the pavement,
even the clouds seem never changing.
it's then that you know you must break from the comfort of your shell and fly.
