Angel In Chains

I saw you falling from the skies up above
I heard you calling "Won't you please spare me Lord
Don't cast me down" (Heaven's in my heart)
Don't cast me down

And when I found you in the cold light of dawn
I first behold you lying naked and torn
The sight of heaven in my eyes fills my heart with desire
And I am bound.
Angel in chains (Heaven's in my eyes)
Angel in chains

But there's a darkness in my heart that fears one day that you might fly
And so I clip your wings to keep you here as my prize
And they say in heaven, your redemption has been set
If you can't love your god, then love a mortal man instead

I brought you home, and I gave you everything
But I cannot loose the chains that a god has set you in
I will try to be kind
Angel in chains

Time goes by and we grow closer everyday
And when you kissed me then your shackles fall away
But there's a shadow inside that's tearing me apart
For I still keep you bound by the shackles of your heart

Chains of love
Chains of love

And I fear on judgement day my name is not amongst the saved
I confessed my sins, but they cannot be erased
When I kneel at the gates, St. Peter's turning me away
Like some discarded pawn in a higher holy game
