Stairway to the Skies

[Verse]
Seven seconds till the rise
Can't believe I'm still alive
And heaven was waiting for me
I thought this would be the end
But I know you'll understand
All that is keeping me here

[Chorus]
I dream of a stairway to the skies
My angel is coming down
From heaven to take me
I reach out but then you fade away
Whenever you call for me
Know that I'm only one step behind

[Verse]
My senses tell me I have changed
But one thing still remains
I'm torn and the hate's still aching
I slowly start to realize
We won't reunite
I still have to march on through

[Chorus]
I dream of a stairway to the skies
My angel is coming down
From heaven to take me
I reach out but then you fade away
Whenever you call for me
Know that I'm only one step behind

[Bridge]
Is it a curse or a virtue?
Have I been blinded by regret?
Perdition awaits, my soul is at stake
Will I find a stairway to the skies
In the end?

[Chorus]
I dream of a stairway to the skies
My angel is coming down
From heaven to take me
I reach out but then you fade away
Whenever you call for me
Know that I'm only one step behind
Know that I'm only one step behind
