Analysis[]
Gabriel arrives at Heaven's Cove to witness the horrifying scene; his brother dead and Faythe dying. The emotional pain is nothing like Gabriel has ever experienced, so he covers Xander's ears and lets loose a scream that deafens Daryus.
Lyrics[]
[GABRIEL:] Angels above Have you deceived my eyes? Be still my love I won't leave your side All my life I have walked alone Now I've found my home in you Only I'm too late Have I wandered into someone's nightmare? This is more than any heart can bear You stole my brother's life! How many more have to die Before you will open your eyes? Don't leave me now Hold on for one more breath Stay strong somehow This can't be the end! All your life You have walked alone Now I am your home So take my hand and don't let go Crushing pain and crippling grief Nothing like I've ever felt God above and souls beneath Hear my last farewell! {Gabriel screams}
