As the angel flew overhead
|
Cast down by the ocean he bled
|
Heaven's battle by far was not won
|
If he had not did what he had done
|
Lucifer would surely have won
|
|
Will his wounds heel he does not know
|
This hero's face will never show
|
No sacrifice without gain
|
No one will ever know his name
|
The angel cast out by his shame
|
[Chorus:]
|
Heaven only knows that you cannot win
|
When betrayal is your only friend
|
Forgive but cannot forget
|
This life is filled full of regret
|
Angel of mercy forgive my soul
|
Give me a life where I can grow old
|
These battle scars I cannot accept
|
As the path I chose Heaven wept
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
The Evil One thought he had it all figured out
|
Had no idea he'd be cast out
|
The favorite one, he was above all
|
One third of angels heard his call
|
He loved himself above them all
|
|
The only one he trusted was his friend
|
Our sad angel's journey begins
|
To save heaven, he threw in the abyss
|
He sealed Satan's fate with a kiss
|
Our Angel he could not miss
|
