Angel Of Mercy - Lyrics - Fifth Angel

Fifth Angel was formed in the suburbs of Seattle in 1983, specifically, in the Bellevue area. The band's initial lineup consisted of Ted Pilot , James Byrd , Ed Archer , Ken Mary and Kenny Kay . This line up went into Steve Lawson Productions studio in late 1983 with Terry Date as producer engineer and recorded a four song demo that consisted of "Fade to Flames", "Fifth Angel", "In the Fallout", and "Wings of Destiny". Shrapnel Records signed them in 1985 and financed the recording of five more songs to complete a self titled album that eventually appeared in 1986.

You, the obsession in my life, Leave me so torn up inside. I only want you to be with me. Time, isn't always on our side, But we're trying to survive. 'Cause there's a need in me can't you see. I need some time to think it over - Just find a way to work it out - Angel of mercy - lay your hands around my heart. Angel of mercy - don't you know I need you. Angel of mercy - tellin' me you're torn apart. I know there's something left here. I know you bleed, the way I do. I, have been trying for so long, Tryin' to find out what went wrong. And why I need you I'll never know. Now, it's so hard to understand, I've been brought down by your hand. But your belief in me never shows - oh, oh. I need some time to think it over - Just find a way to work it out - Angel of mercy - lay your hands around my heart. Angel of mercy - don't you know I need you. Angel of mercy - tellin' me you're torn apart. I know there's something left here. I know you bleed, the way I do. [Guitar solo] I need some time to think things over, Oh...I'll find a way to work it out - Angel of mercy - lay your hands around my heart. Angel of mercy - don't you know I need you. Angel of mercy - tellin' me you're torn apart. I know there's something left here. I know you bleed, the way I do.
