Píseň: When The Angels Fall

Interpret:
Sting
Album:
The Soul Cages
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
Perhaps the dream 
Is dreaming us
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


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 leveled 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


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...
