Fallen Angel

My God, what have I done?
Is this what I had to do?
I paid to save six lives.
Was it worth the price of you?
I would take your spirit in me
To make you live again,
But your fire dies across the sky.
My God, is this the end?

My steel and star-dry lady,
My soul's death is at your hands,
As your own death was at mine, love,
'Tho even I can't understand
Why we gods can't live forever.
Why should legends have to die?
As you wail to sleep in glory,
My heart still seeks the sky.

There are stars before my eyes,
But they pale to your dying.
You swore we'd outlive Time.
Oh, my love, were you, too, lying?
What's my life without your singing
When I'm not but flesh and bone?
Where have I damned my lover's soul
To wander all alone?

But this death I can't deny
As you fade to distant ember.
My need to steal from death
Cost you, love. But I'll remember.
And I long to burn there with you,
To never live again.
Forever we would light the sky.
My God, is this the end?
