lyrics

Cemetery Of Light

There’s a radar glowing orange,
Tracking the course of a falling star.
Calling angels, please get this message,
‘Cos it’s headed for the cemetery of light,
Where you are
And even hough I tried, another suicide,
I couldn’t alter the course of history.
It’s a mystery that we even make it through one day.
Well he was here now, and then just vanished,
He was an angel too but his wings got shot away,
And he fell from the sky.
In the cemetery of light,
Are we grounded with the flightless angels?
Wondering what could have been,
All they ever talk of is what they could have been.

Well asteroid divine you had to burn,
You left just words and memories here in return.

In the evening of that morning,
There was no one living left to count the dead.
And as he crashed down without warning,
All the angels stared at their telephones instead.
So won’t you come in from the night,
Into the cemetery of light.
Where flightless angels talk about their lives.

I really never knew that you’d given up,
Another suicide that I couldn’t stop.
I just stayed there.
