You're following me through the throng You're singing me the same old song You're sorry that you did me wrong And I'm an angel in your eyes But angels have a thousand eyes And roll around on wheels of fire And wear the visage of a lion Six wings to hide it all behind Your voice is cutting through the fray She didn't mean a thing, you say You promise me you'll change your ways I'll be the princess in your life But princesses set fire to towns And bury soldiers underground And plot against their king and crown And die in battle for their rights You can name me And the name will make it real But you can't expect to like what you find You'll still your sickle tongue, you say No longer wield your words to slay You'll free me from beneath your sway You'll call me goddess from now on But goddesses dance on the dead Wear necklaces of severed heads And turn to cats within your bed And still you'll praise them when they're gone You can name me And the name will make it real But it doesn't make it right And it doesn't make me nice And you can't expect to like what you find So if you will pursue me more You'll see me in my truest form I'll be there with my flaming sword The angel with a thousand eyes The angel with a thousand eyes
