Poets Of The Fall - The Beautiful Ones Lyrics






Flies with a broken wing, she's ever so graceful, so like an angel,
but I see, tears flow quietly.

The struggle she's seen this spring, when nothing comes dancing,
paying a handsome fee, and still she smiles at me.

And I can't take it, no I can't help but wonder...

Why do we sacrifice the beautiful ones?
How do you break a heart of gold?
Why do we sacrifice our beautiful souls?
Heroes of tales unsung, untold.

Sweet as an angel sings, she gives though she has none left but the last one, free, unhesitatingly.

And I am humbled, I'm a broken mirror, and I can't help but wonder...

Why do we sacrifice the beautiful ones?
How do you break a heart of gold?
Why do we sacrifice our beautiful souls?
Heroes of tales unsung, untold.

Why do we sacrifice the beautiful ones?
Why when they walk with love alone?
Why do we sacrifice our beautiful souls?
Just trying to find their way home.

    Isn't this in any of the albums?

    The arpeggiation sounds like it's based on Playground - Different Light.

    5:19 marko says something.

    Every time I hear this song I cry, it's a really beautiful song. It is my favorite song.

  5. I.... ....

    I wish POTF would go back to its roots. There's songs like Cradled in Love, Ballad of Jeremiah Peacekeeper, The Beautiful Ones, Jealous Gods that move you to tears with its sincere and emotion oozing atmosphere. I miss old POTF. More people need this song.

    Me sinto da mesma forma!

    Isomorphic There's also Temple of Thought, Rebirth and All the Way/4U if you're talking about that particular side of their music. However, I don't think they've lost that tenderness in their music; just listen to Children of the Sun or Dancing on Broken Glass. I do agree, however, that these songs are just a little too electronic and artificial, and the older songs are more raw and authentic.

    I.... ....

    Have you heard Sweet Escape for example? That is just as touching and overwhelming as these old ones you mentioned. And it's just one of the many examples of heartfelt, musical poetry they keep offering us.

    I.... ....

    I wish people would stop trying to turn creative musicians into legacy acts repeating what they've already made. You only like this style? Listen to this then. No-one is stopping you.

    I.... ....

    I think they've struck a nice balance between old and new with Ultraviolet.

    This will be a band which is always close to our hearts, such beautiful compositions and meaning in their songs...! Marko's voice is what makes it that special... How to thank them is something I'll never figure out! CHEERS GUYS!!! 👍👍🍺

    I can picture this song being played in The Walking Dead: The Final Season if this is the end for Clem
