Verse 1
As the world fell, I stood without fear
Tried to wash it away with an angel’s tears
angels are crying before their wrath
Standing in the ashes... the aftermath
We stopped believing in heaven above
So full of hate, no room for love
We wouldn't change, even though we knew
All the signs were coming true
{Pre-Chorus}{raspy male vocal}
Rivers ran red... Revelations
Spreading the hate... our contagion
We laughed as faith began to crack
Now heaven is turning it's back...
{Chorus}{female vocal{
Angels cry as we run from faith
They weep as the halos break
Demons run free...., it has just begun
What have we done???? ....What have we become?
Angels cry, we asked too much
In our Lord, we couldn't trust
Now the angels cry...
{Verse 2}{male vocal}
Heaven opened and a Voice said
"I am the dark, I am the light
I am the day, I am the night
All my gifts, you threw away
My grace was a garden, you trampled it to dust
So full of hate, so full of lust
You wouldn't listen... you wouldn't pray
Your hearts became a thing I don't recognize
So full of envy... so full of lies
You became cruel and blasphemous
You are the reason for all of this
I only asked for a little faith
The silence you hear is the closing of the gates
You asked for the flames... you sealed this fate."
{Bridge}
The cycle of cold despair
We never taught our kids the prayer
They never really had a chance
We should have been better parents
Taught them to be full of love
To give their thanks to the One above
Too busy living our own lives
We didn’t make sure the Word survived
{Prechorus}
Rivers ran red... Revelations
Spreading the hate... our contagion
We laughed as faith began to crack
Now heaven is turning it's back...
{ Chorus}{female vocal}
Angels cry as we run from faith
They weep as the halos break
Demons run free...., it has just begun
What have we done????
What have we done?????!..
What have we become?
Angels cry, we asked too much
In our Lord, we couldn't trust
Now the angels cry...
{Outro}
Maybe we can start the change
And wash away bitter stains
But if we stay the way we’ve been
We will say goodbye to our Heaven
Staying the same year after year ,
cannot wash it all away with the angels tears
{Female Vocal}
That’s why the angels are crying
They never wanted to say goodbye
As the angels cry.... As the angels cry
