Intro: When the angels came down Did they give you a choice? Would they have let you stay where you were? Not to live here in pain Should not bring you shame And the light is so hard to deter Well did the gates of heaven Look just as you thought? Did Sister Mary des cribe them quite well? Years of Catholic school were all good to you Because you were the angel who fell And I am the one who will never die young I am a martyr and I cannot hide But I'm not a winner I am just brilliantly bitter I'm sealed by my skin But broken inside Angels are fragile And devils are hot And life is a masque rade Colors will blend And hearts will all mend Just tell me you were never afraid 'Cause I am the one who will never die young I am a martyr and I cannot hide But I'm not a winner I am just brilliantly bitter I'm sealed by my skin But broken inside And there are babies laughing And children running And they say "read me a book, oh sing me a song" And I was the one who I felt so, so sorry for But you are the one who is gone So will you save me a seat If I make it that far? Will you even know That I am the one? I will be old For the angels have told me That I will never die young 'Cause I am the one who will never die young I am a martyr and I cannot hide But I'm not a winner I am just brilliantly bitter I'm sealed by my skin But broken inside And I will be old For the angels have told me That I will never die young I'll never die young
