Vision of Angels lyrics

Standing in a forest gazing at the sun

looking at the trees but there's not even one

See a rippling stream that smiles and then goes by

run to feel its comfort but the water's dry.

I see her face and run to take her hand

Why she's never there I don't understand

The trumpets sound my whole world crumbles down

Visions of angels all around

dance in the sky

Leaving me here

forever goodbye.

As the leaves will crumble so will fall my love

for the fragile beauty of our lives must fade

Though I once remember echoes of my youth

now I sense no past, no love that ends in love

Take this dream the stars have filled with light

As the blossom glides like snowflakes from the trees

In vengeance to a god no-one can reach.

Visions of angels all around

dance in the sky

Leaving me here

forever goodbye.

Ice is moving and world's begun to freeze

see the sunlight stopped and deadened by the breeze

Minds are empty bodies move insensitive

some believe that when they die they really live

I believe there never is an end

God gave up this world its people long ago

Why she's never there I still don't understand

Visions of angels all around

dance in the sky

Leaving me here

forever goodbye.

Visions of angels all around

dance in the sky

Leaving me here

forever goodbye.
