lyrics

Autumn twilight chilled through standing your guard
till the moon in the sky takes the tears from your eyes
and turns them to oceans of stars
Little captive safe in grass by the stream
In the warmth of the day you can wish it away
in the arms of an angel that sings

I'll stay with you through the night
I will be here through the winter
Never give up the fight
I'm with you always

Scarlet letter study the word for your soul
But the school yard jeers are all you can hear
and the whispers are all you can hold
Like wind running if for a moment you flew
you'd just crash to the ground how they all take you down
lose the angel's been singing to you

I'll stay with you through the night
I will be here through the winter
We must never give up the fight
I'm with you always

It's your sad heart's been singing
while you've been walking it off for years
Angel keep on bringing
all of the words that you need to hear
battle songs to calm the fear

Wounded soldier always the next drop to numb
from the burning remains it was never explained
why you never thought to run
It's every day now tales worn like a record through
There's no city named peace no day of release
just the songs that you sing to yourself in a room

But we sad hearts need your singing
cause we've been walking it off for years
Angel keep on bringing
all of the words that we need to hear
Battle songs to calm the fear
Battle songs to conquer fear
