[Intro]
White wings in the thunder
Ash falls in their eyes
Haloes cracked as they cover
The wounded in the sky (oh-oh)
[Verse 1]
Steel crowns in the fire
I hear a broken hymn
Shattered trumpets
Tired
But the light won’t give in
Battle-lines above me
Feathers burned and torn
Every scar is glowing
Like a promise reborn
[Chorus]
When angels cry
The heavenstorm is calling my name
Through burning wings they’re falling
Unafraid
I raise my fist to the breaking night
I’ll stand my ground
Where every tear turns into a flame
I feel their sorrow singing through my veins
I ride the lightning in their lullaby
When angels cry
[Verse 2]
Cold ash on my armor
Their voices in the rain
Whisper
“Be the harbor
For all this holy pain”
Broken swords around me
Buried in the stone
Every echo shouting
“You will not fall alone” (yeah)
[Chorus]
When angels cry
The heavenstorm is calling my name
Through burning wings they’re falling
Unafraid
I raise my fist to the breaking night
I’ll stand my ground
Where every tear turns into a flame
I feel their sorrow singing through my veins
I ride the lightning in their lullaby
When angels cry
[Bridge]
[Half-time
Choirs and piano swell]
Silver voices
Bleeding light
Guardians tremble
Still they fight
If they’re fading
Let me be
Sword and shield for all I see
I am thunder in their choir
Mortal heart
Immortal fire
[Chorus]
When angels cry
The heavenstorm is calling my name
Through burning wings they’re falling
Unafraid
I raise my fist to the breaking night
I’ll stand my ground
Where every tear turns into a flame
I feel their sorrow singing through my veins
I ride the lightning in their lullaby
When angels cry
When angels cry (oh-oh)
