Crimson Echo - When Angels Lead You Home

Crimson Echo - When Angels Lead You Home You stood against the cruelest days, With iron in your eyes, You walked through every storm that came, You never learned to hide. But now a silent enemy Has taken hold of you, And all the strength you carried Cannot make the illness move. You fought with every breath you had, You gave the world your best, But some battles cannot be conquered, Some souls are called to rest. So let it go, my dear, let go, You do not have to fight tonight. The angels wait beside your road, They'll guide you gently through the night. You have been strong for far too long, You carried more than you should bear. Close your eyes and rest now, You are going home from here. I know you hate to leave us now, With words still left to say, With photographs and memories We wish could make you stay. But there are roads we cannot walk No matter how we try, And there are doors within this world That only love can open wide. You gave your courage to us all, You taught us how to stand. Now let us carry what you gave And place it in our hands. So let it go, my dear, let go, You do not have to fight tonight. The angels wait beside your road, They'll guide you gently through the night. You have been strong for far too long, You carried more than you should bear. Close your eyes and rest now, You are going home from here. If there is a place beyond this world, Where weary souls can breathe, Then may you find the peace you need, And everything you seek. No more pain upon your shoulders, No more fear beneath your skin, Only open skies before you, And a new journey to begin. And when the morning comes without you, We'll still speak your name. We'll tell the ones who come behind us Why you stood against the pain. The road goes on, the years move forward, Life keeps changing as it must. We will take the gift you left us And turn your courage into trust. So let it go, my dear, let go, You do not have to fight tonight. The angels wait beside your road, They'll guide you gently through the night. You have been strong for far too long, You carried more than you should bear. Close your eyes and rest now, You are going home from here. We will see you again someday, Beyond the reach of pain. This earthly life is only passing, And love will still remain. We pass the torch into tomorrow, We carry what you gave. Sleep now, my dearest warrior, Rest peacefully and safe. Lay down your weary armor, You have nothing left to prove. The angels walk beside you now, And gently lead you through. Go home... Rest now... You fought enough.
