Verse 1
We buried laughter before it grew old,
Watched warm hands turn painfully cold.
We shared our hunger, our hope, our scars,
Dreamed out loud beneath broken stars.
We swore we’d rise from the dust and pain,
Swore no storm could make us bend.
But life came swinging without a sound,
And one by one, it took you down.
Pre-Chorus
No warning sign. No mercy call.
Just sudden silence where you’d stand tall.
The sun still rose, the streets still moved,
But nothing felt the way it used to.
Chorus
Oh, beautiful angels, stolen away,
Snatched from the light of a brand-new day.
Too young to carry the weight you bore,
Too young to be memories and nothing more.
Your names burn deep inside our chest,
Like wounds that never get to rest.
Beautiful angels, hear our cry—
Why did you have to say goodbye?
Verse 2
We remember the fire inside your eyes,
The stubborn hope that never dies.
You laughed at fear, you faced the fight,
Turned dark corners into light.
But bullets, sickness, hunger, streets—
Cruel hands with no heartbeat.
They tore your future from our hands,
Left us grieving in shattered lands.
Pre-Chorus
We still reach for you in crowded rooms,
Still expect your voice to break the gloom.
But echoes don’t hold, and shadows don’t stay—
They fade like you were taken away.
Chorus
Oh, beautiful angels, gone too fast,
Like fragile glass the world has smashed.
Dreams unfinished, stories untold,
Hearts so brave yet never old.
Your absence screams in empty space,
Time cannot soften what we face.
Beautiful angels, forever young,
Your silent song is never done.
Bridge
We rage at heaven, we question fate,
Why does love arrive so late?
Why are the purest called away
While pain and darkness choose to stay?
If life’s a war, you fought it brave,
With bleeding hands and strength you gave.
And though the earth became your bed,
Your spirit walks where we still tread
Final Chorus (Stronger, Rawer)
Beautiful angels, carved in pain,
We whisper your names in the pouring rain.
We carry your fire through every scar,
You are not gone—you are who we are.
Though the world was merciless and wild,
It could not break your inner child.
Beautiful angels, high above—
You left too soon, but you left us love.
Outro
Sleep gently where no battles cry.
Rest where no young hearts have to die.
Beautiful angels, we hold you tight—
In every tear, in every fight.
