[Intro] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1] I found you standing by the rusted gate Your hands were heavy with the ash and rain One wing was draped in midnight’s velvet weight One eye reflected all my hidden pain [Verse 2] You spoke my name like thunder in the dark A warning of the fate I couldn’t flee You kissed the bruised horizon’s dying spark Then vanished, leaving only ghosts with me [Chorus] Eden’s dark angel, don’t leave me here Eden’s dark angel, pull me near Hold my heart through the burning fire Eden’s dark angel, lift me higher [Interlude] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 3] The road stretches out, endless and cold You carry burdens meant for heavier souls With empty hands and stories untold Your breath grows thin as winter takes its toll [Verse 4] I know the shadows where your feet have been So fear not the path that lies ahead I am the silence deep within The living word that keeps you from the dead [Chorus] Fear not the way, I am always near Every step you take, I am here Hold on to Me, hold on to hope I will open skies for you to cope [Bridge] I kept your feather pressed in psalms of old Between the pages, flat and white as bone But every prayer turned bitter, brave, and bold And came back to me in flames alone [Verse 5] If heaven shuts its gates against our cry And orchard fruits rot sour on the vine I’ll walk the road where fallen angels fly If I must fall, let me fall with thine [Chorus] Eden’s dark angel, don’t leave me here Eden’s dark angel, pull me near Hold my heart through the burning fire Eden’s dark angel, lift me higher [Outro] Fear not the way, I see you through You are not alone, I’m with you now Fear not the way, I’m with you now (I am with you now)
