The Fall
Angel A Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No longer fearing the silence or decay
I'm warning you
I've faced the rigors of violence
In my own way
Don't come here to get a leg up
Don't you come in here to stop this roll
It's your shield
The coward's way
Stop you now, dead in your tracks
Stop you now, and force you back
You will feel the damage done
And hear the shame of doubt
Doubt!
The walls of doubt tried to hold me
And they did fall
I've persevered all the poisoned slander
And I rose to the call
This fight is still far from over
This fight's still only just begun
Now you're falling swiftly down a jagged cliff
As I fly towards the new day's sun
Stop you now, dead in your tracks
Stop you now, and force you back
You will feel the damage done
And hear the shame of doubt
Let the pieces crumble
Let the pieces fall
As the rubble buries you
I'll still be standing tall
You think it's easy? Come give it a try
Swallow the truth that you're living a lie
Your plight is useless, it's over and done
See in your eyes that I already won
Darkness seduced me
But I fought my way back
Stronger than steel now
I've crossed the edge of the black
On my own
I didn't start this to falter
I didn't start to let it go
I'm gonna see this through til the very end
It's my way
That's what I know

I try to face the fight within
But it's over
I'm ready for the riot to begin
And surrender
I walked the path that led me to the end
Remember
I'm caught beneath with nothing left to give, forever
When angels fall with broken wings
I can't give up, I can't give in
When all is lost and daylight ends
I'll carry you and we will live forever
Forever
Grey skies will chase the light away
No longer
I fought the fight now only dark remains
Forever
Divided I will stand
And I will let this end
When angels fall with broken wings
I can't give up, I can't give in
When all is lost and daylight ends
I'll carry you and we will live forever
Forever
The sun begins to rise
And wash away the sky
The turning of the tide
Don't leave it all behind
And I will never say goodbye
When angels fall with broken wings
I can't give up, I can't give in
When all is lost and daylight ends
I'll carry you and we will live forever
Forever
Forever
Forever
