BLOOD ANGEL

Drip… Drip… Drip…
A spear in it’s side
Head hunched low
Dead eyes open wide

It’s spirit in it’s blood
Releasing life to the dust
Cries from the clay
Dismantling earth’s crust

Awkward shadows fill sky
Sun turns to black
Rome trembles at this Apollo
Who’ll claim its life back

This angel enters death
The grave where Hades lives
And haunts the dead to rise
Makes their ghosts captives

The blood of this angel
Met with Abel’s in the ground
Both their blood was innocent
Their cry to heaven was resound

It mingled with blood of ancients
To captive blood in docent
Preaching to captives far-away
Ministering to the innocent

It always had a thirst for blood
For purity and righteousness
From Egypt, to animal sacrifice
It saw that all was worthless

But it knew what to judge
According to Heaven’s plan
It’s blood moving through blood
And bones of animal and man

All ancient spirit-life and power
Revealed through creation’s blood
None displayed a righteousness
Divine closeness to their God

Breathe… Breathe… Breathe…
Blood Angel come to Land of the Living!
Both worthy as both God and man
Your blood in death keeps on giving!

You’ve bled upon men’s souls
Upon the people and the nations
It’s seeped through clouds of heaven
And drenches all fallen creation

Blood Angel you have come
Placing redemption in all things
Ascend up to the clouds
Where angels to You they’ll sing

Now creation will follow You
From death to life to perfection
And every single spirit of man
Will follow Your suit of Resurrection

All things of God are given
Through the blood of the Lord of Hosts
Blood Angel you are Jesus Christ
And in my blood is Your Bloodied Ghost

Drip… Drip… Drip…
A Son on God’s side
Head up knowing why
For you and me He died
