Angels Told Me

Angels told me
Long ago
Rivers and mountains could cry

And the wind could sing
And the trees could dance
And the water was as clear as the air

The stars would smile
And leaves could soar
And clouds could race in the sky

Until a creature came
And wiped out their land
Now silence has swept o'er the hills

Now the wind just howls
And the trees are slouched
And the clouds slowly drift by

And the rivers are hushed
And the mountains stand still
Now the angels cry for them
