Angel with a Sword (Live)

I am the angel with a sword

Pacing silent at your shoulder

Sworn to the promise of my lord

Will you live to be much older?

I alone must decide

While I lived upon the earth, I was a kind and godly man

I helped the poor and served my god as much as any human can

When I died and reached the gate, the guardian said for common sin

There is a task you must perform before you can be welcomed in

So I am the angel with a sword

Pacing silent at your shoulder

Sworn to the promise of my lord

Will you live to be much older?

I alone must decide

He gave me a flaming sword and there's someone you must slay

An evil, cruel, perverted woman who'd throw countless lives away

Gladly to prevent this evil, I set forth, assured and bold

Until I saw my target was my own granddaughter, two years old

I am the angel with a sword

Pacing silent at your shoulder

Sworn to the promise of my lord

Will you live to be much older?

I alone must decide

Can the lord be so mistaken? This is but a harmless child

Won't it stain my soul to kill an innocent, still clean and mild?

If this be a test of me, then is blind faith what I should do

Or am I meant to think and question? Then I thought of something new

I am the angel with a sword

Pacing silent at your shoulder

Sworn to the promise of my lord

Will you live to be much older?

I alone must decide

Being dead, I am immortal; time is nothing now to me

I can walk for years beside her, I can judge by what I see

Give me reason, my descendant, justify your pride and lust

Think of me as more than conscience; I will kill you if I must

For I am the angel with a sword

Pacing silent at your shoulder

Sworn to the promise of my lord

Will you live to be much older?

I alone must decide

I alone must decide
