Angels, o violent angels
How sweet the voice that cuts my heart
My peace and all my sanity
A sacrifice to bring to thee

Thank you, violent angels,
Thank you, my sweetest Shiva
Thank you, you brought salvation
Thank you, for now it can die

O saint, you abusive saint
I treasure all the words I've lost
For you I fall onto my knee
Call holy all your judging me

Thank you, violent angels,
Thank you, my sweetest Shiva
Thank you, you brought salvation
Thank you, for now I can go

Don't you save me from the flames
They will purify my soul
Don't you spare me from this storm
It will take what kept me down

Angels, o violent angels
Easier now to embrace the pain
The pain came with a reason
It just said: Please listen to me

Thank you, violent angels,
Thank you, my sweetest Shiva
Thank you, you brought salvation
Thank you, for letting me fall
