lyrics

A day out of time
Close your eyes and wish away
Cruel whispers; the shepherds of your days
Misguided paths that lead you astray
The pageantry of loneliness will
danse for you today.

And as the Angel comes
and so the Angel goes
his memory and essence
Are the only love you’ll know.

Hiding a past, from the present day
Head down in silence, is how you spend the days
The sun it glows, to warm your porcelain face
Climbing up the mountain
before the fall from grace.

And as the ache it comes
and so the ache it goes
her memory and spirit
are the only love you’ll know.

Now rest your head, upon the ancient stone
together with the dawn, but soon he’ll be alone
She cracks her eyes, the final breaking light
We’re on a blighted star…
that’s falling through the night.

And as the Angel comes
and so the Angel goes
The ache of our age
we’re orphaned and alone.

Orphaned and alone
Orphaned and alone
Orphaned and alone
