Song lyrics and meanings

[Ghieri]

I've been listening to Nightwish a lot recently One of my favorite songs by them is "Wish I had an Angel" . Damn beautiful song about Betrayal. You have lines like:

"I took a step outside an innocent heart"

"This night will hurt you like never before"

"Old loves they die hard
Old lies they die harder"

Then the chorus:

I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
Your Virgin Mary undone <- This makes sense if you think of the song as being about Judas Iscariot
I'm in love with my lust
Burning angel wings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight

Then this little bit:

Greatest thrill
Not to kill
But to have the prize of the night
Hypocrite
Wannabe friend
13th disciple who betrayed me for nothing!
