And the pale moon&#39;s alight,
<br>
An Angel stands alone and He&#39;s waiting.
<br>
<br>
And the snow, it comes down,
<br>
And it hushes the sound
<br>
Of the ghosts out there, just hesitating.
<br>
<br>
All the ghosts that live here
<br>
Hold each moment so dear;
<br>
A life they&#39;ve been doomed unto wander.
<br>
<br>
The echos of a choir,
<br>
Upon this ebonshire,
<br>
Are whom the Angel begins to ponder.
<br>
<br>
And the voices grow loud,
<br>

Love was a word I was never told,

There&#39;s no such thing as a winnable war.

So now in myself I believe no more.

The rain descends in this city of stones,

The sound of the falling water in the graveyard

Gently caressing my ears, and in my mind

None dare come to this morbid place

For they fear that they too may loose happiness

Wishing that I am not alone...

Wishing that I shall know... ]]></description>
