Hey-ah Wake up child Something calls you by name at night And the wind The woods and cattle all cry Wake up Haven’t you heard Hurry up then and spread the word That a sworn of angels crashed in the storm All fell like torches And one by one They hit the ground In piles of ashes Their burnt-out wings were spread around Wet sore and frozen Still somewhere underneath it all Oh, so beautiful Sleep now Sleep my dear They’re still falling from way up there And the smoke The heat and fires all spread Here in the desert The nights are cold and full of stars And in the distance Our cities shimmer in the dark Homesick and exiled Under the violet sky I cried Oh, so beautiful There drowns our sorrows Along with all our history And our belonging Our bridges burn as we believe This lasts forever Still somewhere underneath it all A whole life of dying Slowly and bit by bit deceive All we ever stood for Nothing means anything no more Still so beautiful
