Falling Angel

She was falling fast
Down from the clouds
This mercy won't last
Among the crowds

They scorched her dress
They clipped her wings
She's filled with distress
And she no longer sings

And they'll say
What a dark day
Angel down; Angel down
While she hit the ground
She was crushed
Surrounded by dust
Stay strong and faithful
Falling angel

She was out of touch
She tripped over her feet
She needed a crutch
But they took a seat

They shattered her halo
They cut off her hair
She knew to lay low
But she's not breathing air

And they'll say
What a dark day
Angel down; Angel down
While she hit the ground
She was crushed
Surrounded by dust
Stay strong and faithful
Falling angel
