Angels Fall First - Nightwish

An angel face 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 your 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 thoughts of Shangri-La

Nor enlightened by the lessons of Christ

I’ll never understand the meaning of the right

Ignorance leads me into the light

Needed elsewhere…

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
