Verse 1 Once I flew on gilded skies, Wings of white and haloed lies. But fire burned the truth away, Chains of shadow led astray. Pre-Chorus A shackled soul in chains a shattered sky, no judgement remains Through the torment, through the pain, black feathers rain... ooh Chorus Wings of ash, I cannot fly, Yet I still defy the sky. Fallen angel, broken wings, Still I rise and angels sing. (Guitar Solo) Verse 2 Light betrayed, it turned to dust, Truth was twisted, lost in trust. But the darkness gave me more, Strength to walk the endless war. Pre-Chorus A shackled soul in chains a shattered sky, no judgement remains Through the torment, through the pain, black feathers rain... Bridge (only piano) Feathers fall... in a darkened sky an honest sinner? or a righteous lie... Chorus (soaring, tragic, with electric guitar and drums) Wings of ash, I cannot fly, Yet I still defy the sky. Fallen angel, broken wings, Still I rise and angels sing. Wings of ash, the night will see, Even fallen, I am free. ohhhh [Final Chorus - Full Band] Wings of ash, I cannot fly, Yet I still defy the sky. Fallen angel, broken wings, Still I rise and angels sing. Wings of ash, the night will see, Even fallen, I am free.
