I saw an angel through a doorway
She told me of her name
And though the syllables were hard to swallow
I spoke it just the same
In a dream
In a dream

I saw a canon in a courtyard
It sat smoking like a liar
Though it held onto rainwater
Its purpose was for fire
In a war
In a war

Bright stars fade away
Bright stars fade away
Fade away

I lost a lover from the distance
Painfully bloodless
Now we speak as if strangers
And fault ourselves for darkness
In the night
In the night

Bright stars fade away
Bright stars fade away
