Archangel

Engel

Silence

To hear once more

Her footsteps

Down the shadowed corridor

Frightened

You're overdue

The darkest day

Goes on until it's blessed by you

Archangel risin' on the moon

Just to save me from this tomb

I'll cry the tears of time all day

'Til she wipes them all away

Outside my window

On silver trumpets children play

I stand here watching

The dying of an ageless day

Dismiss young couples

Who go home to their knowing bed

And watch the rooftops

Where silent shadows slowly spread

Sleeping their dreamless sleep

They'll never know

The secrets this room keeps

They'll wake when

I'm born again

The rent's been paid

So hurry

Carry me away

Archangel risin' on the moon

Just to save me from this tomb

I'll cry the tears of time all day

'Til she wipes them all away
