[00:48.260]She stands guard at heaven's gate,
[00:52.130]Her sword held high.
[00:56.250]In armour gold and ornate,
[01:00.210]Shining wings spread wide.
[01:04.460]Unmoved by sorrow or hate,
[01:08.200]She serves the throne.
[01:12.110]She's never questioned her fate,
[01:16.250]But she stands alone.
[01:20.540]
[01:20.680]Ave, Ave, Sephiriel.
[01:28.640]Liberae, liberae, Sephiriel.
[01:36.090]
[01:36.480]Fierce angel, she fights for the light,
[01:40.190]She serves her Lord.
[01:44.320]Immortal gifted with flight,
[01:48.230]Yet she yearns for more.
[01:52.290]She's fought hard for Justice and Right,
[01:56.110]In heaven above.
[02:00.200]Yet she'd trade it all for a day and a night,
[02:04.010]With her one true love.
[02:10.170]
[02:11.290]And so it came to pass that the children of men bore beautiful sons and daughters,
[02:18.440]and the angels, children of heaven, looked down upon them and found them fair.
[02:25.330]And they said let us take lovers from the children of men and beget our own children.
[02:32.890]And so the watcher angels, beautiful sons and daughters of heaven, fell to the earth.
[02:42.600]
[03:12.810]Ave, Ave, Sephiriel.
[03:20.710]Liberae, liberae, Sephiriel.
[03:28.470]
[03:28.480]In heaven naught can compare,
[03:32.200]To passion's fire.
[03:36.220]But the angels, servants of God,
[03:40.130]Are forbidden to desire.
[03:44.170]When she saw him she knew she must fall,
[03:48.310]Or forever yearn;
[03:52.230]For one kiss she'd sacrifice all,
[03:56.220]Leaving heaven, ne'er to return.
[04:00.720]
[04:00.730]Ave, Ave, Sephiriel.
[04:08.710]Liberae, liberae, Sephiriel.
[04:16.440]
[04:16.450]Oh blessed Father, Is love a sin?
[04:20.090]Can you deny us all?
[04:24.250]On gold wings spread to the wind,
[04:28.030]She lept away to fall.
[04:32.130]I've never questioned my fate or my place,
[04:35.950]In the grander scheme.
[04:40.030]But now that I've fallen from grace,
[04:44.310]I am finally free.
[04:48.710]
[04:48.720]Ave, Ave, Sephiriel.
[04:56.780]Liberae, liberae, Sephiriel.
[05:06.240]
