Mine Eyes

Will the angels sing tonight
Or will they perish in the shadows of this newborn light?
Will we crumble to dust?
Will we blow away like the ravens did yesterday?
Can we mend this broken reed?
Seal the doom on this house of cards

I only want to hear the angels laugh
Are they sleeping on the edge of the sky?

Will the candles burn all night
Or will darkness engulf us and swallow our sight?
Can we go the same ground if a nightingale sings?
Gather 'round the fountains as the church bells ring

I only want to hear the angels laugh
Are they sleeping on the edge of the sky?
I only want to listen to the angels sing
Are they crying on the glimpse of mine eyes?
