Stairway to the Skies lyrics

Seven seconds till the rise

Can't believe I'm still alive

And heaven was waiting for me

I thought this would be the end

But I know you'll understand

All that is keeping me here

I dream of a stairway to the skies

My angel is coming down from heaven to take me

I reach out but then you fade away

Whenever you call for me

Know that I'm only one step behind

My senses tell me I have changed

But one thing still remains

I'm torn and the hate's still aching

I slowly start to realize

We won't reunite

I still have to march on through

I dream of a stairway to the skies

My angel is coming down from heaven to take me

I reach out but then you fade away

Whenever you call for me

Know that I'm only one step behind

Is it a curse or a virtue

Have I been blinded by regret

Perdition awaits

My soul is at stake

Will I find a stairway to the skies

In the end

I dream of a stairway to the skies

My angel is coming down from heaven to take me

I reach out but then you fade away

Whenever you call for me

Know that I'm only one step behind

Know that I'm only one step behind
