When Poets Dreamed Of Angels |
| She rises early from bed |
| Runs to the mirror |
| The bruises inflicted in moments of fury |
| He kneels beside her once more |
| Whispers a promise |
| «Next time I’ll break every bone in your body» |
| And the well-wishers let the devil in And if the river ran dry they’d deny it happening |
| As the card players deal their hands |
| From the bottom of te deck |
| Row upon row of feudal houses blown away |
| Medicine for the popular complaint |
| When the poets dreamed of Angels |
| What did they see? |
| History lined up in a flash at their backs |
| When the poets dreamed of Angels |
| What did they see? |
| The bishops and knights well placed to attack |
