As darkness comes
And white turns black
The Fallen Angel appears in sight
Her skin pale white
Hair black as night
She wanders the Earth
Away from the light
We notice her beauty
And sense her plight
There’s a battle coming
Between Heaven and Hell
Fighting for her allegiance
They fight to the death
Wanting no part, she flees the
scene
Wanting her freedom, she burns
her wings
Falling towards the ground
Until we catch her
Looking into her eyes, she says
it all
She just wants to be human, free,
and loved
So we take her into her arms
And whisk her away
From the dominating clutches of
Heaven and Hell
Her choice is made
And both forces retreat
With an everlasting anguish
That their angel has fled
Realizing she’s free, she kisses
us both
Thanking us eternally for
claiming her for love
