War Of The Angels Lyrics

War Of The Angels lyrics

(Ford,Ehmig)

She runs through the streets, so desperately young 

Her eyes aflame, and her mind undone 

She aches for the songs, that will never be sung 

And the heroes so quickly forgotten



She sees a friend, in the church yard light 

Laughing and joking and talking to the sky 

Shots ring out, and he hits the ground 

He never opens his eyes 

And she cries



*Heaven is closed to the angels below 

Streets of gold are now paved with sorrow 

God only knows what happens to love 

When the innocence is gone 

And the war of the angels has begun 



The ghosts in her head, have faces and names 

They´re soldiers and children, all one in the same 

In the streets and the alleys, hear the battle cries sound 

And the angels run for cover 

As the world comes tumbling down 

All through the night the battle is fought 

They can never win back the lives they´ve lost 

Down on her knees, in the tear stained dawn 

She just closes her eyes and whispers goodbye



*chorus



Another day in the neighborhood 

Better dry your eyes and be off to school 

She packs her lunch and her daddy´s gun 

Seems much too old to be so young 

The battle begins the day that you´re born 

Into this world, so heartsick and war torn 

Somebody better come and carry her away 

Maybe this angel will live... 

To fly again someday 



*chorus
