Angels Fall First + Know Why the Nightingale Sings? [live Helsinki, Finland 13.02.1998]
Angels Fall First
An angelface smiles to me Under a headline of tragedy That smile used to give me warmth Farewell - no words to say beside the cross on your grave and those forever burning candles
Needed elsewhere to remind us of the shortness of our time Tears laid for them Tears of love, tears of fear Bury my dreams, dig up my sorrows Oh, Lord why the angels fall first
Not relieved by thougts of Shangri-La Nor enlightened by lessons of Christ I'll never understand the meaning of the right Ignorance lead me into the light
[Repeat chorus]
Sing me a song of your beauty of your kingdom Let the melodies of your harps caress those whom we still need
Yesterday we shook hands My friend Today a moonbeam lightens my path My guardian
Know Why The Nightingale Sings?
What does the free fall feel like? Asks the boy with a spark in his eye Know why the nightingale sings? Is the answer to everything
Taking a step to a world unbound Spinning my fantasies all around Freed from the gravital leash I swear the heaven's in my reach
Dancing with the spirit of the air In this ocean so open and fair Making love to the gods above On my maiden voyage so bold
Landing safely to the blue lagoon Don't know if this is the earth or the moon Joy of living is no more a mask The Eden I found will forever last
Migrating with the geese My soul has finally found peace Doesn't matter that man has no wings As long as I hear the nightingale sing...
