Lyric me this, Lyric me that (Even Angels Fall Lyrics)

At various points in my life I have been fascinated by different female vocalists from different bands I've listened to. 

I should put in a disclaimer at this point, 
1) I have not listened to every single female fronted band or bands with female members (to do that would just be madness, and who really has the time?) If I was getting paid to do that, that would be a totally different matter. 
2) This is my vision on how the song would be put together, if it ever makes it to the final version to be recorded and played live it's very likely the composition would be different. (yes I am open to a different arrangement)
3) Yes I understand that everyone would have their own preferences on who should play what in the super-group, but hey, every is entitled to their own opinion.

Super-groups in the past, have been quite a rare thing to happen, never quite all coming together, and never quite staying together. 
I've been struck by the idea that the following five vocalists would make an unbelievable mind-blowing female super-group. 

Without further ado, here are my following five women who would blend together exceptionally well.
So, from Evanescence, the lead singer - Amy Lynn Hartzler, otherwise known worldwide as Amy Lee on piano. (My favourite song - My Immortal)
Next comes from Halestorm, the lead singer - Elizabeth Mae Hale, better known as Lzzy Hale on rhythm guitar. (My favorite song - I Get Off) Unfortunately, the original music video was not available in my country so I linked this version instead). 
Third on the list is Orianthi Panagaris, aka just Orianthi, on lead guitar. (My favorite song - According To You
Next on the list is Emma Anzai from the band Sick Puppies on bass guitar. (My favorite song - All The Same
Finally and lastly, on drums, Jennifer Carole Ledger from the band Skillet, easier known as Jen Ledger to fans worldwide. (My favorite song - Hero)

I've sat on this idea and lyrics for the last 8 years and it hasn't done anyone anything good or bad. So today, I've decided to share it with the world, and see what happens. Yes, I'm putting myself out there being all vulnerable like etc etc. It actually may not be as far fetched as people would think, Amy Lee knows Lzzy Hale and Amy also knows Emma Anzai. We just have to get Jen Ledger and Orianthi on board. Doesn't sound too hard huh?

Now, if I started writing a blog post about each of these bands and each of these vocalists I might spend days writing, but the point of today's post is the dream of a super-group, and whether it can happen. Maybe that's an idea for a future blog post. 

Please, no one ask me what inspired the song lyrics, it's been so long I honestly don't remember, although I believe it was inspired from somewhere between Epica, Nightwish, Within Temptation and Tarja.

As a side note, Tarja has a beautiful name - Tarja Soile Susanna Turunen-Cabuli.

Apologies to Jen, I just didn't know where to fit her into the song, maybe someone can come up with a different idea?

I should also mention that my only claim to fame is the time I entered a song of mine "Higher" in the Lyrics only category in the UK Songwriting contest in 2015 and I came in as a semi-finalist, which isn't too shabby I think. 

Here's the song lyrics that I wrote. 

Even Angels Fall

(Lzzy Hale on vocals)
Cold
Blooded
Hate!!! (screamed)

(Amy Lee on vocals)
Frozen in the flames,
In hell I stay,
Whatever happens,
Our love never dies,
Future promises, future tears,
Future dreams, future fears,
Following my bleeding heart,
So cold.

(Orianthi on vocals)
Spoken
From the sky to the center of the earth, 
The deep calleth on the deep, 
So be it pain without love!
If the world perishes,
Let justice be done,
Though the heavens fall! 
He, whom God wishes to destroy, 
He's the punishment of what I am.
The death of my life, the death all things! 
Thy faith will be done!!! (Screamed)

(Lzzy Hale & Amy Lee on vocals)
Chorus
Even angels fall,
On broken wings,
Dying for what I've done,
Even angels fall,
From up on high,
Saving me for the pain,
I need you,
I won't survive,
Every night,
Without you.

(Amy Lee on vocals)
Bridge (Growled)
Governed by the weakness,
Written in anger,
Blinded with the pain,
Covered in jealousy,
Born in the darkness,
So blind.

(Emma Anzai on vocals)
Even angels fall. (Whispered)

(Orianthi on vocals)
Scared to death,
Knowing I might be wrong,
So unsure,
Come back to me,
My lost soul,
Come back to me,
I pictured us for eternity.

Chorus X 1
Bridge X 1
Chorus X 1

Bridge X 1
