The Angels' Share

The angels' share
The secrets of the universe
Is seldom fair
Hardly blessing, hardly curse
All those things we cannot know
We dream, we hypothesize
Maybe these are secrets shared by those
Watching from the sky
If we are only members of the human race
No supernatural beings from a supernatural place
If you can solve the problem, come and tell me to my face
The angels' share
In all the human mysteries
There is no prayer
To the thieves of celestial history
The myth of perfect wisdom
We forget it at birth
It’s a kind of clandestine conspiracy
A seraphin joke of eternity
If we are only members of the human race
No supernatural beings from a supernatural place
If you can solve the problem, come and tell me to my face
All those things we cannot know
We dream, we hypothesize
Maybe these are secrets shared by those
Watching from the skies
If we are only members of the human race
No supernatural beings from a supernatural place
If you can solve the problem, come and tell me to my face
If we are only members of the human race
No supernatural beings from a supernatural place
If you can solve the problem, come and tell me to my face
