Intro]
A cold wind calls across the grave
The moon turns red above the haze
Six bells ring from a distant tower
As heaven loses its final hour
[Verse 1]
Wings of fire fall from the sky
One by one, the angels die
Golden blood on fields of stone
Heaven's children die alone
The sacred gates begin to crack
Something ancient is coming back
No more prayers, no more signs
Only darkness between the lines
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you hear the heavens cry?
Can you see the kingdom die?
[Chorus]
WHEN ANGELS DIE
THE NIGHT WILL RISE
HELL WILL OPEN
UNDER BLACKENED SKIES
WHEN ANGELS DIE
THE HOLY FALL
NO GOD ABOVE US
NO MERCY LEFT AT ALL
[Verse 2]
A thousand swords beneath the rain
A thousand souls consumed by pain
The saints have lost their sacred fire
The choirs burn upon the pyre
We walk beneath their broken wings
While distant thunder slowly sings
If paradise was built on lies
Then let it burn before our eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Raise the banner, sound the cry
Tonight we watch the heavens die
[Chorus]
WHEN ANGELS DIE
THE NIGHT WILL RISE
HELL WILL OPEN
UNDER BLACKENED SKIES
WHEN ANGELS DIE
THE HOLY FALL
NO GOD ABOVE US
NO MERCY LEFT AT ALL
[Bridge – Slow / Heavy]
Black wings...
Cover the sun...
The final judgment...
Has begun...
Kneel before nothing
Bow before none
The war between heaven and hell
Is finally won
[Breakdown]
DIE!
Let the heavens shatter!
DIE!
Nothing else will matter!
DIE!
Hear the final battle cry!
DIE! DIE! DIE!
WHEN ANGELS DIE!
[Final Chorus]
WHEN ANGELS DIE
THE STARS COLLIDE
THE GATES OF HEAVEN
ARE OPEN WIDE
WHEN ANGELS DIE
THE DARK WILL REIGN
FROM THE ASHES OF PARADISE
WE RISE AGAIN!
[Outro]
The sky is empty...
The bells are silent...
The last angel falls...
And darkness...
takes it all.
