When The Angels Fall

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
So high above the world tonightThe angels watch us sleepingAnd underneath a bridge of starsWe dream in safety’s keepingBut perhaps the dreamIs dreaming usSoaring with the seagullsPerhaps the dreamIs dreaming usAstride the backs of eaglesWhen the angels fallShadows on the wallIn the thunder’s callSomething haunts us allWhen the angels fallTake your father’s crossGently from the wallA shadow still remainingSee the churches fallIn mighty arcs of soundAnd all that they’re containingYet all the ragged soulsOf all the ragged menLooking for their lost homesShuffle to the ruinsFrom the leveled plainTo search among the tombstonesWhen the angels fallShadows on the wallIn the thunder’s callSomething haunts us allWhen the angels fallThese are my feetThese are my handsThese are my childrenAnd this is my demandBring down the angelsCast them from my sightI never want to seeA million suns at midnightYour hands are emptyThe streets are emptyYou can’t control usYou can’t control us anymoreWhen the angels fallWhen the angels fall…
