So high above the world tonight The angels watch us sleeping And underneath a bridge of stars We dream in safety's keeping But perhaps the dream Is dreaming us Soaring with the seagulls Perhaps the dream Is dreaming us Astride on the backs of eagles
When the angels fall Shadows on the wall In the thunder's call Something haunts us all When the angels fall When the angels fall
Take your father's cross Gently from the wall A shadow still remaining See the churches fall In mighty arcs of sound And all that they're containing Yet all the rugged souls Looking for their lost homes Shuffle to the ruins From the levelled plain To search among the tombstones
When the angels fall Shadows on the wall In the thunder's call Something haunts us all
When the angels fall When the angels fall When the angels fall
These are my feet These are my hands These are my children And this is my demand Bring down the angels Cast them from my sight I never want to see A million suns at midnight
Your hands are empty The streets are empty You can't control us You can't control us anymore
When the angels fall When the angels fall When the angels fall When the angels fall When the angels fall When the angels fall
