Song lyrics

From the heavens above
Through the silent twilight, she fell.
Blinding light of a falling star
Or wings ablaze?

I watched her sleeping away her pain
Under the eyes of her crows.
The dark grew around her like the shadows
As the sun went down.

I offered her salvation
From this place of woe and thorns,
Washed her wings, so black from ashes,
And hid away her horns.

[Chorus:]
Wipe away your black tears,
Welcome the darker times.
The day of tomorrow is for the chosen ones.
From the fires of yesterday
Until the Hell of tomorrow
The memory of light is all we have.

The fear in her voice
Kept echoing in my mind
Like the cries of a lost child,
Who knows she won't last through the night.

Under the stars of the open sky
She gazed into the night,
Wondered why she fell below,
Abandoned by the light.

"The ballet of shooting stars above,
She watches them in tears every night.
Her wings chained down to earth, unable to leave.
I'm the guardian of her hell,
The one to remind her that love will get you here."

[Chorus:]
Wipe away your black tears,
Welcome the darker times.
The day of tomorrow is for the chosen ones.
From the fires of yesterday
Until the Hell of tomorrow
The memory of light is all we have.

I watched her sleeping away her pain
Under the eyes of her crows.
The dark grew around her like the shadows
As the sun went down.

From the heavens above
Through the silent twilight, she fell.
Blinding light of a falling star
Or wings ablaze?
