 LYRICS:
 
 From the lying mirror to the movement of stars
 Everybody's looking for who they are
 Those who know, don't have the words to tell
 And the ones with the words, don't know too well
 
 [chorus]
 Could be famine, could be the feast
 Could be the pusher, could be the priest
 Always ourselves we love the least
 That's the burden of the Angel Beast
 
 Birds of paradise, birds of prey
 Here tommorrow, gone today
 Cross my forehead, cross my palm
 Don't cross me, or I'll do you harm [to chorus]
 
 [solo]
 
 We go crying, we go laughing
 Never understand, the time we were passing
 Kill for money, die for love
 Whatever was God thinking of [to chorus]
 
 [out jam]
