Angel of joy do you know grief
That crushes the heart like a leaf?
Have you heard the sound
Of a head hung down
And mistakes made over and again
Angel of light oh angel fair
All I ask is one small prayer
Angel of joy do you know hate
When vengeance calls and we capitulate
Do you know or care all about dispair
And those long dull nights of fear?
Creeping toward a bit of sunlit wall
With dragging feet and tears of gall
