Michelle Belanger - Children of Heaven Lyrics

She stands guard at Heaven's gate, her sword held high
In armor, gold and ornate, shining wings spread wide
Unmoved by sorrow or hate, she serves the Throne
She's never questioned her fate, but she stands alone

Ave, ave, Sephiriel
Liberae, liberae, Sephiriel

Fierce angel, she fights for the light; she serves her Lord
Immortal, gifted with flight, yet she yearns for more
She's fought hard for justice and right in Heaven above
Yet she'd trade it all for a day and a night with her one true love

And it came to pass that the children of men bore beautiful sons and daughters
And the Angels, children of Heaven, looked down upon them and found them fair
And they said, Let us take lovers from the children of men and beget our own children
And so the Watcher Angels, beautiful sons and daughters of Heaven, fell to the Earth

Ave, ave, Sephiriel
Liberae, liberae, Sephiriel

In Heaven naught can compare to passion's fire
But the angels, servants of God, are forbidden to desire
When she saw him, she knew she must fall or forever yearn
For one kiss, she'd sacrifice all, leaving Heaven ne'er to return

Ave, ave, Sephiriel
Liberae, liberae, Sephiriel

Oh Blessed Father, is love a sin? Can you deny us all?
On gold wings, spread to the wind, she leapt away to fall
I've never questioned my fate or my place in the grander scheme
But now that I've fallen from grace, I am finally free

Ave, ave, Sephiriel
Liberae, liberae, Sephiriel
