Fallen Embers Lyrics

Once, as my heart remembers,
all the stars were fallen embers.
Once, when night seemed forever
I was with you.

Once, in the care of morning
in the air was all belonging.
Once, when that day was dawning
I was with you.

How far we are from morning,
how far are we
and the stars shining through the darkness,
falling in the air.

Once, as the night was leaving
into us our dreams were weaving.
Once, all dreams were worth keeping.
I was with you.

Once, when our hearts were singing,
I was with you.

I'm gonna fucking cry... this song means so much to me... long story but I had an incredible night with a guy who still likes me, but can't love me until he gets over his last girlfriend...

Kyle, I'll wait forever for you

um....i love this song with a burning passion. she deeply loved someone when she was with them, meaning he may have died or left. now it is only darkness because he was her dawn, her everything

It's about Lucifer, the bright and Morning Star, fairest son of God, the dream keeper and highest archangel in Heaven. The fallen angel who manipulatively took a third of the angels in Heaven with him when he was cast out in a bolt of lightning for his pride, his vanity.

"How far we all have fallen."

It's a personna of Lucifer's ode to his former Master, the only One he truly ever loved -- Yahweh.

Read the lyrics very closely, then read Isaiah 14:12-23 to gain a closer understanding of the lyrics' true meaning.

This song makes me cry, seriously.

It means something completely different to me. My boyfriend lives 500 miles away and it reminds me of the summer that we were together and now, I miss him so much...

Another strong tie to this song.

This song speaks to me as describing the night I was in labor with my first child. I labored all night and she was born in the morning. She died 2 days later due to major complications during her birth. This song appeals as though it was written just for me and my experience.

Once, as the night was leaving into us our dreams were weaving. Once, all dreams were worth keeping. I was with you.

Once, when our hearts were singing, I was with you.

:( Oh God,I'm sorry.
