SWEET FALLEN ANGELS
(Ian M. Bruce)

Sweet fallen angels.
You have no benefit of any doubt '
Cos no one spoke for you.
No one stopped for you.
No one said a little prayer as they laid you down in your graves.
Death with no dignity all along the road.

No more fiery marbles
fls the headlights catch your eyes.
No golden glints as the sun begins to rise.
And for all the endless preening
That I bet you did before
Your torn coats shine like silk no more.

Yesterday was sunshine
But I guess you felt no heat.
Today it rains so hard,
it bounces round your feet.
There's so many of you
But you all lie alone
In dirt, dust, flesh, blood and bone.

There's death between the trees
As we slice through the glen.
Millions of murders and yet no requiem.
The flies, fleas and the bumblebees are dying everyday.
Heaven help anything in our way.

It's all in the name of transport;
Points A to B.
Just cut it down, be it a mountain or a tree.
Fast fast and faster
Oh and care not what will die.
Just pass it by.

So, to all the furs and feathers
We've scattered on the way.
I'm lost for words.
I really don't know what to say.
Although we broke your bodies,
Well, I hope you felt no pain.
You'll never feel our cruel hand again.
