Time stopped.
//Angel...//
The light shines in the darkness.
//Angel...//
But the darkness has not understood.
//He does not wish to hear.//
//But hear he must.//
The darkness was blinding.
There came a man who was sent;
Black as night. Black as coal. Black as death.
He came as a witness to testify concerning that light,
//Angel... listen...//
So that through him all men might believe.
Death.
//..."Strong is fighting. It's hard and it's painful and it's every day..."//
//..."The good fight, yeah? I get that now..."//
He himself was not the light;
It doesn't matter. None of it matters.
//... "But I know it's important to keep fighting and I learned that from you..."//
//... "They make mistakes. They fall down. But they keep caring. Keep trying..."//
If there wasn't evil in every one of them, they'd all be angels.
//... "You can't imagine the price for true evil..."//
He came only as a witness to the light.
It's not the demon that needs killing, it's the man.
//... "I've been all wrongheaded about this. Weeping, crawling, blaming everybody else..."//
//... "Is that what you came back from Hell for? Is that your higher purpose?..."//
Why?
//... "Would knowing why you were here give you peace of mind?..."//
Yes.
The true light
//... "Never been anywhere, myself. Always wanted to see the world..."//
//... "Close your eyes..."//
//... "I could pick the wisest and bravest knight in all the land..."//
//... "You walked down the steps and I loved you..."//
//... "I thought I'd take it slow. I've been hurt, you know..."//
//... "When I kiss you, you don't wake up from a deep sleep and live happily ever after..."//
That gives light to every man
//... "Without passion, we'd truly be dead..."//
//... "Close your eyes..."//
//... "It... hurts..."//
//... "You'll fight and you'll shag and you'll hate each other 'til it makes you quiver..."//
//... "You're not alive. You're just running. Afraid to feel. Afraid to be touched..."//
//... "I'm trying to think with my head instead of my heart..."//
//... "I won't let you die, Angel..."//
Who comes into the world.
//... "It's called addiction, Angel . We all have it..."//
//...It's not the demon, it's the man...//
//... "Don't go..."//
//... "Need me to stay..."//
//... 'Loved by both the darkness and the light...'//
//... It was the man, not the demon...//
//... "I need you..."//
//... Line and borders no longer existed...//
//... A new set of boundaries...//
//... "Don't go..."//
He was in the world,
//... "I'm scared..."//
And though the world was made through him,
//... "Don't go..."//
The world did not recognize him.
//... The soul and demon had been silenced. The man had won...//
It's not the demon... It's the man that needs killing...
//... "Do you remember, Angel?..."//
He came to that which was his own,
//... "I remember you laughing..."//
But his own did not receive him.
//... "You'd shook your head and smiled and told me that you loved me..."//
The light shines in the darkness,
//... "I'm leaving..."//
Don't go.
And the darkness cannot overcome.
Darkness.
//The darkness is coming, Angel.//
Darkness.
//You must remember the light.//
Darkness.
//... "What do I need?..."//
Darkness.
//... "Me..."//
Time went on.
End
