Fallen Angel

When they rolled away your stone and you found my gods were gone

 Did you feel you were forsaken? Did you feel you had been taken?

You are not alone...

 It's a long, long fall to the pavement from the sky

 Yet before we are reborn, before we learn to fly

 We must die.
 
 

Fallen Angel, she will die

 Fallen Angel, like a phoenix from the ashes

 She will rise.
 
 

So lay down your broken crosses and stop all of your crying

 For in your father's eyes (indeed whose are your own)

You are dying..

 But no one can deny that the spark within your eyes

 Was kindled in some ancient thought far across the night

 Beyond the sky...
 
 

Fallen Angel, she will die

 Fallen Angel, like a phoenix from the ashes

 She will rise.
