[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
The angel of love was upon me
And lord I felt so small
The legs beneath me weaken
I began to crawl
Confused and contented
I slithered around
Reveal is beyond me
I was lost I was found
[Interlude]
[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
The angel of love was upon me
And lord I felt so weak
I felt my tongue move in my mouth
And I began to speak
A strange kind of language
I don't understand
A babbling fountain
I couldn't have planned
[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin Gore (background harmony)]
Oh leave me here forevermore
I've found the peace I've been searching for
[Interlude]
[Verse 3: Dave Gahan]
The angel of love was upon me
And lord I felt so high
I swear I could've reached up
Place my hands upon the sky
A radiant rainbow
Was following me around
With elevated senses
I can see and taste sound
[Interlude]
[Verse 4: Dave Gahan]
The angel of love was upon me
And lord I felt so clean
Like a preacher on Sunday
My heart was serene
I waded into the water
I was bathed, I was drowned
Like the sinners before me
I knelt down on the ground
[Outro: Dave Gahan & Martin Gore (background harmony)]
Oh leave me here forevermore
I've found the peace I've been searching for
Oh let me sleep forevermore
I've found the peace I've been searching for
Angel was written by Martin L. Gore.
Angel was produced by Ben Hillier.
Depeche Mode released Angel on Fri Mar 22 2013.
According to Songfacts, Gore told Q Magazine:
It’s got a head-banging quality, which is different for us, but it’s still our usual kind of love song with a bit of religion thrown in.
This song was featured in the end credits of the popular NetherRealm video game “Injustice: Gods Among Us,” released April 16, 2013.
