Sparkling angel I believed
you were my saviour in my time of need.
Blinded by faith I couldn't hear
all the whispers, the warnings so clea...

This song is clearly about the deep feelings after a major letdown or betrayal. About people's needs to find the explanations behind unrational, just pure evil actions. I think the song also is about vengeance, but as I feel it, it is more of a secondary issue.

The song is about betrayal (the hitchhiker being taken in, attacked and "killed") and the vengeance which follows (the "angels" who seek revenge on behalf of the dead women) - it's human nature to want revenge if someone has wronged you so this meaning fits with the song.

Not that I'm in the song writer's head or anything, so I'm just leaving my best guest :)

I believe it would be about the betrayal of a loved one.

I don't need to say the song is beautiful, it speaks for itself. My humble interpretations of the lyrics:

"Sparkling angel I believe / You were my saviour in my time of need" - She may have been going through a dark spell, in need of love, it was him who saved her

"Blinded by faith I couldn’t hear / All the whispers, the warnings so clear" - She obviously didn't know of his intentions

"I see the angels" - the angels could be his victims

"I’ll lead them to your door / there’s no escape now / No mercy no more" - No escape as they haunt him and plague him with guilt – he won’t get away with what he has done

"No remorse 'cause I still remember / The smile when you tore me apart" - Reference to when he killed her

"You took my heart" - Multiple meanings: 1. She fell in love with him, he had her heart 2. The heart is your life source, take that away and you are dead, an empty shell - reference to murder

"You broke the promise and made me realise / It was all just a lie" - Promise could have been he claimed to love her or that they would be together forever

"Sparkling angel, I couldn’t see / Your dark intentions, your feelings for me" - He didn't really love her

"Fallen angel, tell me why? / What is the reason, the thorn in your eye?" - She is asking why he killed her, what his motives were.

"Could have been forever / Now we have reached the end" - They could have been together
