[Verse 1]
I sit alone again
On this empty throne built by men
And this way means my feet is falling
So far have I strayed
From my good and selfless way
And this skin is burning on my bone
Temptation
Is a faithful companion
It will blind you, even as the light comes streaming in
[Chorus]
Won't you set me down
An angel with a winged crown
To lift up my soul, carry me far away
[Verse 2]
Open up my mind
I am weary and I'm tired
I don't know much, but I know I've lost my way
Will God come down
Lord knows the Devil can't help me now
I need love to come and set me free
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I need love
Neither drink nor any drug
Just true and beautiful love to set me free
[Chorus]
Oh set me down
An angel with a winged crown
To lift up my soul, carry me far away
Oh
[Verse 3]
Deliver me now
From this misery I've found
It's gonna take a woman to make a man out of me
And I will gaze into her eyes
This angel of mine
Give thanks with all of my soul, be joyful 'til I die
Oh won't you
[Chorus]
Set me down
An angel with a winged crown
To lift up my soul, carry me far away
[Post-Chorus]
'Cause I need love
Neither drink nor any drug
Just true and beautiful love to come and set me free
[Outro]
Set me down
Set me down
Oh no, oh love to come and set me free
Set me down
Set me down
To lift up my soul, carry me far away
