lyrics

As these strange buildings crumbling
You're angel wings fluttering, wisps of whistling winds
Through the cracks of shells and dwellings, we settled within
Walls thinning, whispering everything ends
Time in the flash of the speed of light
Our clockwork toys sputtering to a stop, ceasing of life
Season end or spice to contrast your beaming eyes
Gleaming bright, seep the strife of demons inside
And we're here, in this modest aboad
As darkness crosses the largest of moats
Didn't need a fortress, we got what we could
Hardship's roads paved as soft as wool
When we shared a smile, baby though the end is nigh
In my mind's eye, you've mended the skies
As the weather sifts the remnants we lived in
Days penciled in, we've written our wrinkles of grins
And we're still here...

That'll be the day
The day that angels fly away
The day that angels fly away

You were the first to be lifted away
A gift and curse, but I could never complain
Just sit here grinning at the infinite plane
Light of my life brighter than a star could ever feign
Like young and dumb luck, you were revealed in the dark
Unlocked the seal on my heart, feel what was love
Beyond what the Djinn could ever dream
And you're soul moved on to bigger and better things
And I know what I know, don't question it like where forever end?
Which memories withered away my decrepit brain
Spring chicken even when I'm not hip to the game
Just remember your face and winter refrains
Within these walls of the recluse, in solitude
The joy of your life's impression remains
As it rains and these old bricks and wood are calling to you
Awaiting my day, you lessened the pain
We're still here...
