When The Angels Fall

So high above the world tonight The angels watch us sleeping And underneath a bridge of stars We dream in safety's keeping But perhaps the dream Is dreaming us Soaring with the seagulls Astride the backs of eagles When the angels fall Shadows on the wall In the thunder's call Something haunts us all When the angels fall When the angels fall Take your father's cross Gently from the wall A shadow still remaining See the churches fall In mighty arcs of sound And all that they're containing Yet all the ragged souls Of all the ragged men Looking for their lost homes Shuffle to the ruins From the levelled plain To search among the tombstones When the angels fall Shadows on the wall In the thunder's call Something haunts us all When the angels fall When the angels fall When the angels fall These are my feet These are my hands These are my children And this is my demand Bring down the angels Cast them from my sight I never want to see A million suns at midnight Your hands are empty The streets are empty You can't control us You can't control us anymore When the angels fall When the angels fall When the angels fall When the angels fall When the angels fall When the angels fall --- When the Angels Fall - Sting
