When The Angels Fall Lyrics - The Soul Cages - Sting

So high above the world tonight 

The angels watch us sleeping 

And underneath a bridge of stars 

We dream in safety's keeping 

But perhaps the dream 

Is dreaming us 

Soaring with the seagulls 

But perhaps the dream 

Is dreaming us 

Astride the backs of eagles 

When the angels fall 

Shadows on the wall 

In the thunder's call 

Something haunts us all 

When the angels fall 

When the angels fall 

Take your father's cross 

Gently from the wall 

The shadow still remaining 

See the churches fall 

In mighty arcs of sound 

And all that they're containing 

Yet all the ragged souls 

Of all the ragged men 

Looking for their lost homes 

Shuffle to the ruins 

From the levelled plain 

To search among the tombstones 

When the angels fall 

Shadows on the wall 

In the thunder's call 

Something haunts us all 

When the angels fall 

When the angels fall 

When the angels fall 

These are my feet 

These are my hands 

These are my children 

And this is my demand 

Bring down the angels 

Cast them from my sight 

I never want to see 

A million suns at midnight 

Your hands are empty 

The streets are empty 

You can't control us 

You can't control us anymore 

When the angels fall 

When the angels fall 

When the angels fall 

When the angels fall 

When the angels fall 

When the angels fall
