There's angels thrashing overhead
Below them lay my body dead
The life I saw as once my own
Is now no more than flesh and bone
The dance of death finally past
I feel my soul emerge at last
My spirit soars, I've been set free
From earthly ties restraining me
Then once again I feel the ground
I see the humans, I make no sound
Longing for peace I lie in wait
A higher power has sealed my fate
The angels left me for the light
I'm merly a shadow, a ghost of night
A chill that you will sometimes feel
My existence you debate as real
Those to whom I may appear
Dread me as their darkest fear
Heaven's deaf unto my cry
While Hell's demons pass me by
No time or place made for my kind
Unsetteled souls life left behind
