A IS FOR THE ANGUISH WHEN WE THINK ABOUT YOUR CRY

N IS FOR THE NEEDLESS WAY WE KNOW WE KNOW YOU HAD TO DIE

D IS FOR THE DEAR SWEET SMILE WE IMAGINE ON YOUR FACE

R IS FOR THE REASON YOU'RE IN ANOTHER PLACE

E IS FOR THE ETERNITY YOUR ATTACKER MUST BEAR

A IS FOR THE ANGEL WE KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOW
