Dogma is a 1999 American comedy film, written and directed by Kevin Smith, who also stars along with Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Linda Fiorentino, Alan Rickman, Bud Cort, Salma Hayek, Chris Rock, Jason Lee, George Carlin, Janeane Garofalo, Alanis Morissette, and Jason Mewes. It is the fourth film in Smith's View Askewniverse series. Brian O'Halloran and Jeff Anderson, stars of the first Askewniverse film Clerks, have cameo roles, as do Smith regulars Scott Mosier, Dwight Ewell, Walt Flanagan, and Bryan Johnson.
The film's irreverent treatment of Catholicism and the Roman Catholic Church triggered considerable controversy, even before its opening. The Catholic League denounced it as "blasphemy". Organized protests delayed its release in many countries and led to at least two death threats against Smith. The plot revolves around two fallen angels who plan to employ an alleged loophole in Catholic dogma to return to Heaven, after being cast out by God; but as existence is founded on the principle that God is infallible, their success would prove God wrong and thus undo all creation. The last scion and two prophets are sent by the Voice of God to stop them.
Angel in Cage
They gave you hell and you couldn't move your hands
They closed your wings and I saw your frozen tears
But your deadly broken heart
Found the way to start
Dance on your broken dreams
Then comes the night and you lose all your fears
But your deadly broken heart
Is rising from the dark
Girl don't shed your tears
They stole all your dreams
You can't believe
My Angel in the cage
You can't escape, they put you in their cage
Now spread your wings and tell me what you see
But your deadly broken heart
Is coming from the dark
Girl don't shed your tears
They stole all your dreams
You can't believe
My Angel in the cage
Girl don't shed your tears
Where are your dreams?
You can't believe
My Angel in the cage
Don't run way Angel show me
Your darkest pain coming from the dark
And you're bleeding from your heart
All your feelings you can't stop
Girl don't shed your tears
They stole all your dreams
You can't believe
My Angel in the cage
Girl don't shed your tears
Where are your dreams?
You can't believe
