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
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
