“Angel of Death" began early morning in the mountains of Italy while the rest of the house was still asleep. I was stunned by the view and a line or two came into my head followed by a line from the Bible “place me like a seal over your heart for love is stronger than death.” The rest came from there; a thought that maybe we could view death and love with similar eyes.
lyrics
When will I be
Wrapped like the truth
Around your ankles
Whispering love
Into the spine of a mountain
Place me like a seal over your heart
Level that gun
Like a savior of forgiveness
Bury me well
In the crook of your neck
When will we be
Spirits on the
Eyes of a lover
The angel of death
Wrapped in the cloak
Of a shepherd
