letra de angel with a sword - leslie fish
[chorus]
i am the angel with a sword
pacing silent at your shoulder
sworn to the promise of my lord
will you live to be much older?
i alone must decide
[verse 1]
while i lived upon the earth i was a kind and godly man
i helped the poor and served my god as much as any human can
when i died and reached the gate, the guardian said: “for common sin
there is a task you must perform, before you can be welcomed in”
[chorus]
so i am the angel with a sword
pacing silent at your shoulder
sworn to the promise of my lord
will you live to bе much older?
i alone must decidе
[verse 2]
he gave me a flaming sword and said: “there’s someone you must slay:
an evil, cruel, perverted woman who’d throw countless lives away”
gladly to prevent this evil, i set forth assured and bold
until i saw my target was… my own granddaughter, two years old
[chorus]
i am the angel with a sword
pacing silent at your shoulder
sworn to the promise of my lord
will you live to be much older?
i alone must decide
[verse 3]
can the lord be so mistaken? this is but a harmless child
won’t it stain my soul to k!ll an innocent still clean and mild?
if this be a test of me, then is blind faith what i should do?
or am i meant to think and question? then i thought of something new!
[chorus]
i am the angel with a sword
pacing silent at your shoulder
sworn to the promise of my lord
will you live to be much older?
i alone must decide
[verse 4]
being dead, i am immortal – time is nothing now to me
i can walk for years beside her, i can judge by what i see
give me reason, my descendant: justify your pride and l-st
think of me as more than conscience, i will k!ll you if i must
[chorus]
for i am the angel with a sword
pacing silent at your shoulder
sworn to the promise of my lord
will you live to be much older?
i alone must decide
i alone must decide
