AngelsThey do not wear golden halo's
They are not dressed in spotless white
They do not bear feathered wings
They cannot float in a starlit night

They are far from perfect creatures
They have no powers in their might
The friends I see so saintly
Are not always completely right

So why do their eyes touch me
In ways that melt my heart?
And why does every word they say
Sound like musical, magical art?

Why do I call them my angels?
How do they heal every wound in sight?
And how does every smile they reveal
Send such pure rays of light?

Angels Fall Firstby ~iluviar

Scraps

_{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 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 lead 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

(C) Nightwish
