The angels came to watch the men wage battle
The saints they came to watch the men go down
And if you died they handed you a medal
And if you lived you stayed above the ground

I was spared at a cost; all the kingdom was lost
All the walls came tumbling down

You used to lay beside me in the meadow
You used to lay beside me in your gown
I feel your arms around me like a shadow
But when I turn there’s no one to be found

I was spared at a cost; all the kingdom was lost
All the walls came tumbling down

We used to have a feast upon the table
We used to have a bedroom full of wine
And if I have to give my last to have you
I’ll travel far beyond the ends of time
