Angel

Judas Priest

Angel
Put sad wings around me now
Protect me from this world of sin
So that we can rise again

Oh angel
We can find our way somehow
Escaping from the world we're in
To a place where we began
And I know we'll find
A better place and piece of mind
Just tell me that it's all you want
For you and me

Angel won't you set me free
Angel
Remember how we chased the sun
Then reaching for the stars at night
As our lives had just begun
When I close my eyes
I hear your velvet wings and cry
I'm waiting here with open arms
Oh can't you see
Angel shine your light on me

Angel we'll meet once more I'll pray
When all my sins are washed away
Hold me inside your wings and stay
Angel take me far away

Put your sad wings around me now
Angel take me far away
Put sad wings around me now
So that we can rise again
Put sad wings around me now
Angel take me far away
Put sad wings around me now
So that we can rise again

    General CommentI think It's about the fallen angel....it's about the state of being "fallen" ....
    "Oh Angel we can find our way somehow
    Escaping from the world we're in
    To a place where we began"
    he says to the place where they began

    General CommentI know that I'm always wrong about this kind of stuff but I can see the song being about drugs or something,"And I know we'll find
    A better place and peace of mind
    Just tell me that it's all you want
    For you and me
    Angel won't you set me free"

    General CommentActually now that i think about it alot of other lines make sense with it being about drugs:
    "Angel put sad wings around me now
    Protect me from this world of sin
    So that we can rise again"

    "Angel we'll meet once more, I'll pray
    When all my sins are washed away
    Hold me inside your wings and stay
    Angel take me far away "

    i think i could pretty much take this whole song but you can see the lyrics above, anyway i hope someone tells me what they think.

    My InterpretationThis song always reminds me of one person I love, but I mever had a chance to tell her about what I feel.

    My InterpretationSinger is referring his lost lover as an angel. She might be dead or long gone for some reason. The second paragraph makes it all so clear.

    Anyway, this couple had their misunderstandings, now the singer want to reset everything again between them, he started asking by "Just tell me that its all you want, for you and me"

    General CommentI'm very disappointed in the low turn-out on the Judas Priest pages.
    Especially right when the new album comes out and it's rumored that it sold 70,000 copies in it first week in America alone.
