The Descent Songtext
von Dive

Hey I, wake up child
Something calls you by name at night
And the wind, the woods, the cattle all cry
Wake up, haven′t you heard
Hurry up and spread the word
That a swarm of angels crashed in the storm
All fell like torches
When one by one they hit the ground
In piles of ashes
The burnt out wings were spread around


Wet soil frozen
Still somewhere underneath it all
Oh so beautiful
Sleep now, sleep my dear
There's no falling from way up there
And the smoke, the heat, the fires all spread
Here in the desert
The nights are cold and full of stars
And in the distance
A city′s shimmer in the dark

Homesick and exiled
Under a violet sky I cry
Oh so beautiful
They're drowns of sorrow
Along with all our history
And our belonging
Our bridges burn as we believe
This lasts forever
Still somewhere underneath it all

Whole life a dying
Slowly bit by bit receding
All we ever stood for
Nothing means anything no more
Still so beautiful
