LYRICS (English)
Why Did the Angels Leave This World?
poem by Kevin Carrel Footer
Passengers all we toe the line
Thrust screaming into life
So soon it's time to go again
Abandoned once, we thrash and churn
Lost in this mortal dance
A fight that can't be won
But still we plead for one more chance
For one more chance now
I dream a dream that doesn't change
Someone calls out to me
But I don't even know her name
She locks me in an immortal stare
I start to fade away
My body breaks apart
There's nothing left to make me stay
To make me stay now
Why did the angels leave this world?
Is there a better place
But we can't see it?
Why did they leave us when they fled?
This world's a chimera
All twisted and askew
Where even angels fear to tread
Angels in this world
Lost among the tombs
I love
I need
I dream of you
This world is dark with angels gone
I miss their magic fire
To guide us safely to the dawn
While cities fought they wandered off
This world of shattered glass
Where loneliness abounds
Where streets are filled with emptiness
With emptiness now
