Angels fall first lyrics

Artist  : Nightwish 
Song : 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
our 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 thougts of
Shangri-La
                    Nor enlightened by lessons of
Christ
               I´ll never understand the meaning
of the right
                      Ignorance lead me into the
light
                              (Repeat chorus)
                               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
