Firefall

Firefall,
         the fire fell,
                out of heaven
                       straight to hell.

  Fallen angel
        burning wings
             how the touch of
                    you still stings.

   I know I'll never care again,
       for falling angels on the wind,
             who take you  with them as they go
                  through the vortex,down below.

  to spiral down,and in that spin,
       to show you things that might have been.
             caught between the earth and sky,
                 your love can't live,your love won't die.

  and when the wings have burned away,
       it's just a soul who's gone astray.
           mere mortals cannot bear such pain,
              as fallen angels in the rain.

   the fire goes out 
      and love must die,
           when angels can't
                  reclaim
                             the 
                                  sky...............
