Beautifully Still

Send me down my future

From your wheel of fire

Let me only fly

On your wings of desire

What happened to that ride

On your chariot of gold

It had only lasted minutes

From the centuries you hold

What happened to the reign

The reign of love?

Where have all the angels gone

Now the sun's not up above?

You lie so beautifully still

I can't see you move

I want us to be closer

In fifty years or more

Getting young not older

Like we were here before

But your quarters are all sullied

Your alter boys asleep

Your priests have drunk the wine

You meant us all to keep

What happened to the reign

The reign of love?

Where have all the angels gone

Now the sun's not up above?

You lie so beautifully still

I can't see you move

What happened to the reign

The reign of love?

Where have all the angels gone

Now the sun's not up above?

You lie so beautifully still

I can't see you move

I'm not saying your dead

I just think you've changed

You lie so beautifully still

I can't see you move
