I enjoy all power songs from Nightwish. I really don't care if they are with Tarja or with Anette (as long as there are some Marco Hietala's vocals..). This song is epic. Tarja's voice is angelic - always has been! Marco's vocals are very well combined and very harmonic with the whole concept. Nothing worth mentioning about the lyrics, just the "Burning angels wings to dust" part! The structure of the song is classic. Don't try to brake it into pieces or think of the "behind the scenes" gossip about the members of the group. Just enjoy!

Lyrics:
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel tonight
Deep into a dying day
I took a step outside an innocent heart
Prepare to hate me fall when I may
This night will hurt you like never before
Old loves they die hard
Old lies they die harder
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I`m in love with my lust
Burning angel wings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight
I`m going down so frail `n cruel
Drunken disguise changes all the rules
Old loves they die hard
Old lies they die harder
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I`m in love with my lust
Burning angel wings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight
Greatest thrill
Not to kill
But to have the prize of the night
Hypocrite
Wannabe friend
13th disciple who betrayed me for nothing!
Last dance, first kiss
Your touch my bliss
Beauty always comes with dark thoughts
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I`m in love with my lust
Burning angel wings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight
