From the recording THE COMING OF VIOLENT DEATH
RUNNING FROM OUR ANGELS (Dishonored & Forgotten) - A deeply emotional track about loss and regret, written after the death of a close friend and being unable to go to his funeral because of the pandemic and travel bans. The "angels" in the song symbolize missed opportunities, lost loved ones, and the inability to escape the weight of past mistakes. The lyrics explore survivor's guilt, depression, and the haunting memories of those who are gone.
Lyrics
RUNNING FROM OUR ANGELS (Dishonored & Forgotten)
My mind is shrouded in a haze,
Fading memories lost in a daze
Hate, death, war, hate, suffocating like slaves
In this sick new world, anxiety dictates,
Prophetically portraying shadows of despair
As fucking nightmares consume us whole
We're hanging on by a thread, our self-destruction awaits
Losing control in this crumbling world
Running from our angels, running from our angels…
So here I stand on the precipice of fate
Between reality and madness
Where demons dance, all hope is overthrown
Agony binds me tightly within its cruel gods!
Running from our angels, running from our angels…
Running from our angels, running from our angels…
So here I stand on the precipice of fate
Between reality and madness
Where demons dance, all hope is overthrown
Agony binds me tightly within its cruel gods!
I yearn for release from this nightmare that lasts
I yearn for release from this nightmare that lasts
Running from our angels, running from our angels!
