in Spring `02. I was helping one of my friend to get
his musical career back to its course and I offered him
a song I made to the Burning Point ( but I guess that
the other guys in BP didn`t share my enthusiasm towards
that song so it was kind of “left“ over...).
Back then I was in the middle of the Feeding the Flames
recording sessions so I kind of “forgot “ the whole thing
and the next time I saw my friend he told that they had
enough songs of their own already so...
the song was “left” over again...
that poor thing was Temples of Gold.

Then it hit me , there was not going to be the third time...
I contacted one my friend who was the guitar player in
one of my hometown bands and we started demoing couple of
my songs…But suddenly he had his handfull of other “projects”
so that one died right there...

Totally frustrated of that situation I finally called
Tapsa and Jussi in the end of the year `02.
After about 5 rehearsals we had something like
12 “new “ songs...
The word new is used very cautiously here because few of
these songs I`ve made years ago...
But I have “modernized” or “ up to date”
them a little bit so they sound very new,
even to me! Finally in Spring `03 we had our first
demo cd ready ( called , Ghosts in the Castle)
and I started sending it all over the world.
After a few negotiations of some of the record labels
we decided to make a record deal with Sound Riot Records,
I guess that mainly because they share the
same enthusiasm towards our music as we did...

So here we are!!!

Send Me An Angel
Ghost Machinery Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every night I hit the street
All alone burning with the need
Broken dreams and an empty heart have got me
I need a lover with a lot of heart
It's so hard when you're in the dark
And no one's there to help you find your way

I keep running in the night

Searching for the light
Crying for someone to rescue me

Won't you send me, send me an angel
Send me, send me an angel
Send me an angel tonight, tonight

Keep looking but I can't see
Listen hard but I don't believe
Is this the way it really has to be?
Say you're in or count me out
I can't live with all this doubt
Save my life with a single word

And I'm out here in the dark
I don't know where to start
Begging for my feelings to be heard

Won't you send me, send me an angel
Send me, send me an angel
Send me an angel tonight, tonight

[Solo]

I keep running in the night
Searching for the light
Crying for someone to rescue me

Won't you send me, send me an angel
Send me, send me an angel
Send me an angel tonight, tonight

Oh send
Won't you send me, send me an angel
Send me, send me an angel

Send me, send me an angel
An angel, an angel

Every night I hit the street
I venture out in the evenings

All alone burning with the need

Broken dreams and an empty heart have got me
My dreams are shattered and my heart is lonely

I need a lover with a lot of heart
I yearn for someone with great love

I keep searching during the nighttime

Searching for the light
Looking for hope and illumination

Crying for someone to rescue me
Sobbing for someone to save me
