Lyrics of Angels by Within Temptation
verse
Sparkling angel, I believe
You are my saviour in my time of need
Blinded by faith, I couldn′t hear
All the whispers, the warning's so clear
pre-chorus
I see the angels
I′ll lead them to your door
There's no escape now
No mercy no more
No remorse 'cause I still remember
The smile when you tore me apart
chorus
You took my heart
Deceived me right from the start
You showed me dreams
I wish they′d turn into real
You broke the promise
And made me realise
It was all just a lie (just a lie)
verse
Sparkling angel, I couldn′t see
Your dark intentions, your feelings for me
Fallen angel, tell me why
What is the reason? The thorn in your eye
pre-chorus
I see the angels
I'll lead them to your door
There′s no escape now
No mercy no more
No remorse 'cause I still remember
The smile when you tore me apart
chorus
You took my heart
Deceived me right from the start
You showed me dreams
I wish they′d turn into real
You broke the promise
And made me realise
It was all just a lie
bridge
Could have been forever
Now we have reached the end
This world may have failed you
It doesn't give the reason why
You could have chosen a different path in life
The smile when you tore me apart
chorus
You took my heart
Deceived me right from the start
You showed me dreams
I wished they′d turn into real
You broke a promise
And made me realise
It was all just a lie
outro
Could have been forever
Now we have reached the end
