From the book of life Comes a rider for the damned And he wields the scythe As he rides across the land But when he comes you'll never know That it's time for you to leave the world Mother Angel, tell me why Is it cool up in the sky? Was it time for you to disappear and go? Is there something I should know? Was it time for you to go? Waiting for a sign From you to let me know Here on my own From the ashes we do come To the ashes we shall go And the dust that we were made of Shall embrace our very soul All the times that we don't know Make it harder to believe in God and heaven above So Mother Angel, tell me why Is it cool up in the sky? Was it time for you to leave and let it go? Is there something I should know? Was it time for you to go? Waiting for a sign From you to let me know Here on my own My hands reach out into thin air And the truth is hard to bear No one comes to bring you back again Mother Ange, tell me why Is it cool up in the sky? Was it time for you to disappear and go? Is there something I should know? Is it time to let you? Waiting for a sign From you to let me know I'm here on my own Here on my own Here on my own
