Lost between the fingertips of broken reality,
Searching for the souls of modern mortality.
Within the nightmare encasing her mind,
Lies the shattered dream her heart confined.
Little angel spread your wings,
Lift from this land and the mourning it brings.
Drown your sorrows and keep your peace,
Little angel, find your release.
A thousand fortune stories told from lies,
Choose a deck of cards and pay your price.
For a soul is nothing for the broken to give,
'Cause its just a painful memory to relive.
Little angel spread your wings,
Lift from this land and the mourning it brings.
Drown your sorrows and keep your peace,
Little angel, find your release.
Shadows surround a once perfect heart,
erase the shadows for a new start.
turn out the light, the shadow disappears,
to find pure darkness the heart fears.
Little angel spread your wings,
In this land of the mourning and things.
You feed on sorrows and destroy the peace,
Devil's angel, you've found the release.

I don't know why you said that you wish you could write as I do. From where I stand, you write just as good, if not better!
I absolutely love this! The chorus was very gripping indeed. I listen to all kinds of matal and gothic songs, and this could make such a perfect death metal song!
