Like an angel you descended on me;
Like the glistening of the moon upon an open sea.
Then you wilted like a rose in the darkness:
Like an angel you flew away.

Like an angel; like an angel from God
To traverse the worlds in darkness and ignite them with His love;
Like an angel born to teach the children; calm the weeping by the gravestone:
Like an angel.

Like an angel you soothed my soul;
As if God sent you from his heavens with a cask of light,
And as though blinded, too lost in darkness to believe
That like an angel you rescued me.

Like an angel; like an angel from God
To traverse the worlds in darkness and ignite them with His love.
Like an angel born to teach the children; calm the weeping by the gravestone:
Like an angel.

Like an angel; thought you were immortal,
Lulled into comfort and delivered from my doubt:
One day you’d crumble like the sandstone in my fingers:
Like an angel?

Like an angel; like an angel from God
To traverse the worlds in darkness and ignite them with His love.
Like an angel born to teach the children; calm the weeping by the gravestone:
Like an angel.

Like an angel, falling to the darkness?
Immune and deaf to Zion’s desperate crying
But be laid into your grave for a long, eternal sleeping
Like an angel?

Like an angel? Falling like the petals of a wilting rose?
Like an angel? Like an angel from a God you don’t believe in?
Like an angel - like a lonely spirit locked inside the grave;
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust - as an angel should be saved?

Like an angel; like an angel from God
To traverse the worlds in darkness and ignite them with His love.
Like an angel born to teach the children; calm the weeping by the gravestone:
Like an angel.
