"When The Angels Cry" lyrics - PRETTY MAIDS

I pray the Lord my soul for Him to keep
For all the world to see
To save me from the Devil and His creep
To lay his hands on me

I feel the ground beneath me shake
I can't rewind
I'm gonna fall...

Father forgive me
For we don't know what we do
Love resurrect me
To the world that I once know

Depraved, diseased
A far out scenery:
We know it all too well
The path we choose
To find the gates of Heaven
Is just the road to Hell

Raping the land
And apocalyptic plans
It's the nature of man

See what we created
Stare into the face of Time
Living in a world devastated
When the angels cry

Cry for salvation
When the final day has come
We're the last generation
In the shades of Babylon

Denial, betrayal
No meaning to our failure
No answer to our pleas
A burnt out culture
Chaos and revolt-
It's mankind on its knees

Our future is vanishing
Like blood in the rain
Like a paper in flames

See what we created
Stare into the face of Time
Living in a world devastated
When the angels cry
Think of all the beauty we've wasted
Is this the end of it all?

And I saw another sign in Heaven
Great and marvelous
Seven angels having seven plagues
Which are the last
For in them is finished the wraith of God

See what we created
Stare into the face of Time
Living in a world devastated
When the angels cry
