Better Angels (Oh Our Nature)
So they came into being
Under a dying sun
Better angels of our nature
A job well done?
Don't look under the surface
Lying dead but dreaming
Better angels of our nature
'twas a dream worth dreaming
When all our wisdom has faded
All is said and done
Our good intentions are jaded, jaded
And all hope is gone
For the better angels
So the seagulls landed
On a dying shore
And all our hopes were stranded right there
Growing faint to the core
Yet the city's breathing
Forever dead but dreaming
Better angels of our nature
'twas a dream worth dreaming
When all our wisdom has faded
All is said and done
Our good intentions are jaded, jaded
And all hope is gone
For the better angels
When all our wisdom has faded
All is said and done
Our good intentions are jaded, jaded
And all hope is gone
For the better angels
Let us pray for the better angels
Ever praying for the better angels
Let's pray for the better angels
Under a dying sun
Better angels of our nature
A job well done?
Don't look under the surface
Lying dead but dreaming
Better angels of our nature
'twas a dream worth dreaming
When all our wisdom has faded
All is said and done
Our good intentions are jaded, jaded
And all hope is gone
For the better angels
So the seagulls landed
On a dying shore
And all our hopes were stranded right there
Growing faint to the core
Yet the city's breathing
Forever dead but dreaming
Better angels of our nature
'twas a dream worth dreaming
When all our wisdom has faded
All is said and done
Our good intentions are jaded, jaded
And all hope is gone
For the better angels
When all our wisdom has faded
All is said and done
Our good intentions are jaded, jaded
And all hope is gone
For the better angels
Let us pray for the better angels
Ever praying for the better angels
Let's pray for the better angels
