Children of Heaven by Nox Arcana

"She stands guard at heaven's gate 
Her sword held high 
In armor gold and ornate 
Shining wings spread wide 


Unmoved by sorrow or hate 
She serves the throne 
She's never questioned her fate 
But she stands alone 


Ave Ave Sephiriel 
Liberae liberae Sephiriel 


Fierce angel, she fights for the light 
She serves her Lord 
Immortal gifted with flight 
Yet she yearns for more 


She's fought hard for Justice and Right 
In heaven above 
Yet she'd trade it all for a day and a night 
with her one true love 


(spoken) And so it came to pass that the children of men bore beautiful sons and daughters and the angels, children of heaven, looked down upon them and found them fair. And they said let us take lovers from the children of men and beget our own children. And so the watcher angels, beautiful sons and daughters of heaven, fell to the earth. 


Ave Ave Sephiriel 
Liberae liberae Sephiriel 


In heaven naught can compare 
to passion's fire 
but the angels, servants of God 
are forbidden to desire 


When she saw him she knew she must fall 
or forever yearn, 
for one kiss she'd sacrifice all 
leaving heaven, ne'er to return 


Ave Ave Sephiriel 
Liberae liberae Sephiriel 


Oh blessed Father, Is love a sin? 
Can you deny us all? 
On gold wings spread to the wind 
She lept away to fall 


I've never questioned my fate or my place 
In the grander scheme 
But now that I've fallen from grace 
I am finally free. 


Ave Ave Sephiriel 
Liberae liberae Sephiriel
