Angels may die
But they can still fly
Reach for the sky
You and I
We will survive
With our heads held high
This is why
The dead never cry
Make good the sacrifice
Battle for dear life
Don't fear the knife
Don't fear the strike
We are the light
Crept into sight
This is why
The dead never cry
Fight with all your might
It will last through the night
Look it in the eye
The beast that's inside
It's worth while
For the angels who die
This is why
The dead never cry
We'll say our goodbyes
At the ocean tide
In heaven we'll be
The dead who don't cry

Lovely! This Sunday morning, it's a beautiful read.
Thank you!
I love the minimalist form of this, I find this really difficult to do myself.
Loved your rhyme!
