Look away, oh Father, look away from me
Fly away, oh Father, fly away from me
Do you see, oh Father, do you see me from there
Fly away, oh Father, fly away from me
And now a story comes to mind
About a man, his forge, his crime
Nothing's written down
But it was told that he was kind
Take your hands, oh Father, take your hands from me
Take this pain, oh Father, take this pain from me
On the wings of chaos, they came undone
On these wings of chaos, they came undone
Making wings of skin of bird and poison blades
Innocence, belief and thistle down
Love, shame, and war
A child left behind
Look away, oh Father, look away from me
Fly away, oh Father, fly away from me
On the wings of chaos, they came undone
Let the heavens see
On the wings of chaos, they came undone
On these wings of chaos, they came undone
(Alone under the moon, they cry)
Tell me a story won't you
If fairytales are never true
Then you won't mind me
If fairytales are never real
Never you bother
Tell me oh Father will you
If fairytales are never true
Then you won't mind all my words
Since fairytales are never real
Since fairytales are never real
It's a story of a man, wings of pride, a child he told to never fear
Never fear
Never fear the sky
On the wings of chaos, they came undone
Let the heavens see
On the wings of chaos, they came undone
On these wings of chaos, they came undone
