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
