The Fallen Angel Sequence
Fallen Angel
I watched you
On the day you were cast out
You were a defying beauty
Savage, primevil
Flushed and radiating heat
As the faceless power cast you down
Your wings were torn from your back
And your blood spattered my face
As you plunged down to the unforgiving earth
Away from me
If I could I would heal your wounds
Mend your broken wings
Hold your pain-wracked body close to mine
My fallen angel
Plunged into a misery
I couldn't save you from
All I could do was watch
The faceless power throw you
Away from me
I couldn't cry out
My voice fell with you
I couldn't sob
Angels can't cry
All I could do was watch
If you want me to
I will tear off my wings
And fall from the accursed sky
Into your arms
***
Cruel Wings
I don't want to live in Eden without Eve
I can't bear Shangri-la alone
Paradise is no heaven without you
I can't fly in bloodstained clouds
I can't perform for circus crowds
I can't bear to watch you die for me
When I would bear every pain
Forced on you
God, please don't make me be an angel anymore
You can have my wings
my halo, my robe of white
Just don't make me be an angel
God knows I don't want to be an angel
I used to flit through celestial dreams
Happily
With you beside me
I used to cherish the stars on my wings
And the clouds in my hair
But I can't fly in a Heaven tainted by your blood
I can't be an angel anymore
God knows I don't want to be an angel
Let me fall
I can't be an angel
Anymore
****
The Fallen One's Reply
Please
Please let go
Don't cling to clouds
Drenched in my blood
Forget about me
It pains me to ask this of you
But you must forget me
Lest you be thrown
Wingless and wounded
At my feet
For I have not the strength to
Break my chains and catch you
Forget me
Cling to your innocence
Not my memories
I am nothing but a stain on your wings
Forget me
I'm not worth your tears
Don't let me tie you down
Fly
Fly for me
And forget
Forget me
Please
Forget

Strange Angel
You're a strange angel, my darling
I wish we could be joined
As one, forever
But there's no way it could happen
Beautiful strange angel
I can't reach up to you
And I could never ask you to fall
On my behalf
I want you to forget me
I'm not worth your tears
Or the blood in your veins
Beautiful strange angel
My beautiful strange angel
I don't deserve you
You deserve a glorious seraph
Not a crippled remnant of a fallen angel
Like me
Strange angel
Forget me
You don't need me
You should bestow your love on one more worthy
Forget me
Strange angel
Because I can never forget you
My beautiful strange angel
***
Eternal Memories
I love you
My gorgeous fallen angel
How could you ask me
To forget you
I could never forget you
No seraph who flits through the
Glittering bloodstained hallways
Of this empty Heaven
Is worthy of one feather on my wings
Let alone every drop of blood in my body
And every tear my eyes could cry
Like you are
My gorgeous fallen angel
I will never forget you
I could never forget the one who fell for my sake
I love you
You mean far too much
For me to forget you
Maybe I'm a naive fool
To care so much
But it doesn't matter
I love you
More than any god or heaven
or wings like chains
That keep us apart
I love you
I won't forget you
I can't
I love you
My gorgeous fallen angel
I could never call you a demon
Like the others
You're different
I love you
My gorgeous fallen angel
My angel
Meine Engel

When Seraphim Cry
Angels aren't supposed to cry
Tears don't fall in Heaven
The clouds remain unmarred by sadness
But only on the surface
It's cold here
Where the icy stars beat down upon us
As we sing of the time
When seraphim cry
Angels don't get lonely
There are always arms around them
Loving and warm
But only on the surface
It's cold here
Where the icy stars beat down upon us
As we sing of the time
When seraphim cry
Angels don't fall in love
We all love each other equally
A loving family
But only on the surface
It's cold here
Where the icy stars beat down upon us
As we sing of the time
When seraphim cry
You can't break an angel's heart
We are impervious to heartbreak
A strong defense
But only on the surface
It's cold here
Where the icy stars beat down upon us
As we sing of the time
When seraphim cry
It's lonely here
Where the drifting clouds abandon us
As we sing of the time
When seraphim cry

Worlds Apart
Angel
My angel
I wish I could hold you in my arms
Kiss away the pain on your face
I wish we could be together
But we're worlds apart
Will you ever look my way
Will you listen when I pray
Would you change fate if you could?
Do you really care?
We are both young
Inexperienced, naive
I was not much older than you when I fell
I wish I could be with you
But do you really want the same?
Would you really fall for me
Leave Heaven for this bastard earth
For my sake?
We're worlds apart
We both know it
I don't know you like I used to
I see your pain
and nothing else
I can't be close to you
I can't come near you
Would you really want me to?
We're worlds apart
Star-crossed lovers, as they say
But yet
I love you too
Meine schon Engel
Ich liebe dich
My angel
***
On The Balcony
You've compared me to Juliet
Aloft on the balcony
Far away
A celestial being
Contrasted with your rude humanity
But you don't realize
That what keeps us apart is
No lofty standard of a twisted god
Or wretched human conflict
Like that of old Verona
We are the same
We are old souls
Brought together anew
We are the same
That is all that seperates us
I am no lofty celestial being
I'm just like you
Crippled and disfigured
By a god we used to love
We are the same
And I can't let you keep me on the balcony
When I could climb down the vines
Into your arms

Earthbound
Fallen Angel:
You, in the sky
Wether you mean to or not
Are looking down on me
Like all the tin-cup angels in your dingy Heaven
Can't you forget me?
Seek a worthier love
Angel:
I look down upon you, tis true
But not in arrogance
I would fall a thousand miles to reach you
Can't you forgive me
For my devotion?
Both:
Earthbound, darling we are earthbound
To become the characters in a mortal drama
Like any other fallen angels
Like any tawdy cloud walkers
We fall like moths to an unforgiving earth
Earthbound, darling we are earthbound
Fallen Angel:
I can forgive
Yes, even a demon can forgive
I never thought I was a demon
Until now
But here I stand wreathed in fire
As an angel begs me for release
Angel:
I don't care what our
Angry and jealous god titles you
Forget all this foolishness of forgiveness
And forgeting
I cannot forget
And I will not forgive
Both:
Earthbound, darling we are earthbound
To become the characters in a mortal drama
Like any other fallen angels
Like any tawdy cloud walkers
We fall like moths to an unforgiving earth
Earthbound, darling we are earthbound
Fallen Angel:
What sin have I that begs forgiveness?
I fell for my reasons
Not yours
Remain in Heaven
I will stay here
With or without you
Angel:
I will not fall for the sake of
One who has forsaken me
We are both of us
Nothingness
Attired in robes of allegorical meanings woven
By insane and twisted gods
I loved you
And I suffered for it
But I will do as you ask
And forget you
Both:
Earthbound, darling we are earthbound
To become the characters in a mortal drama
Like any other fallen angels
Like any tawdy cloud walkers
We fall like moths to an unforgiving earth
Earthbound, darling we are earthbound
Nothing, darling we are nothing
Of meaning or importance
Just two lost souls
just two stock characters alone
Fallen like moths
nothing, darling we are nothing
Fallen Angel:
Nothing
Angel:
Nothing
Both:
Angels and demons can sing of us forever
But we are still
Nothing
