  LYRICS:

  

  From the lying mirror to the movement of stars

  Everybody's looking for who they are

  Those who know, don't have the words to tell

  And the ones with the words, don't know too well

  

  [chorus]

  Could be famine, could be the feast

  Could be the pusher, could be the priest

  Always ourselves we love the least

  That's the burden of the Angel Beast

  

  Birds of paradise, birds of prey

  Here tommorrow, gone today

  Cross my forehead, cross my palm

  Don't cross me, or I'll do you harm [to chorus]

  

  [solo]

  

  We go crying, we go laughing

  Never understand, the time we were passing

  Kill for money, die for love

  Whatever was God thinking of [to chorus]

  

  [out jam]
