Mine Eyes

Will the angels sing tonight

Or will they perish in the shadows of this newborn light

Will we crumble into dust

Will we blow away

Like the ravens did yesterday

Can we mend this broken reed

Seal the doom of this house of cards

I only want to hear the angels laugh

Are they sleeping on the edge of the sky

Will the candles burn all night

Or will the darkness engulf us and swallow our sight

Can we go the same ground if a nightingale sings

Gather 'round the fountain as the churchbells ring

I only want to hear the angels laugh

Are they sleeping on the edge of the sky

I only want to hear the angels sing

Are they crying on the edge of mine eyes
