Name: Angels in the Rafters
Duration: P00H03M04S
Description: A song about what you do with grace. The lyrics were rushed on this one, and I'll certainly take another pass at them. Not much left of my voice, so the performance is rough. Otherwise, this is probably one of my favorite things that I've worked on in a while.

A song about what you do with grace. The lyrics were rushed on this one, and I'll certainly take another pass at them. Not much left of my voice, so the performance is rough. Otherwise, this is probably one of my favorite things that I've worked on in a while.

lyrics

The skew in the balance
The pawns in the palace
The drop in morale has left you
Wondering why
You get what you pay for
Unless of course you’re just prey for
all your hopes just fly too high

The angels in the rafters
The secret ever-afters
All around you
the miles of misbehaving
You don’t deserve the saving
But it found you

And now you’ve got set straight
been given a clean slate
Is it check or just checkmate
What’s your play?
So count up your bad debts 
your luck and your lost bets
Stains will fade away

The angels in the rafters
The secret ever-afters
All around you
the miles of misbehaving
You don’t deserve the saving
But it found you

What will you do 
now you’ve come through
See what you’re made of …

The angels in the rafters
The secret ever-afters
All around you
the miles of misbehaving
You don’t deserve the saving
But it found you
