Swallow The Sun - The Memory Of Light Lyrics

From the heavens above through the silent twilight, she fell
Blinding light of a falling star or wings ablaze?

I watched her sleeping away her pain
Under the eyes of her crows
The dark grew around her like the shadows
As the sun went down

I offered her salvation from this place of woe and thorns
Washed her wings, so black from ashes, and hid away her horns

Wipe away your black tears, welcome the darker times
The day of tomorrow is for the chosen ones
From the fires of yesterday until the Hell of tomorrow
The memory of light is all we have

The fear in her voice kept echoing in my mind
Like the cries of a lost child
Who knows she won't last through the night

Under the stars of the open sky, she gazed into the night
Wondered why she fell below, abandoned by the light

The ballet of shooting stars above, she watches them in tears every night
Her wings chained down to earth, unable to leave
I'm the guardian of her hell, the one to remind her that love will get you here

Wipe away your black tears, welcome the darker times
The day of tomorrow is for the chosen ones
From the fires of yesterday until the Hell of tomorrow
The memory of light is all we have

I watched her sleeping away her pain
Under the eyes of her crows
The dark grew around her like the shadows
As the sun went down

From the heavens above through the silent twilight, she fell
Blinding light of a falling star or wings ablaze?
