Lyrics
Where are they running, can't they see
That's not the way out, listen to me
So hard to breathe, starting to choke
Can't even see because of the smoke
Lord give me a sign, show me a light
Give me direction, show me my flight
I never imagined I'd know so much fear
Or that my end would so soon appear
chorus: Angels in Black , oh Angels in Black
Everyday I pray that they will come back
Angels in Black , oh Angels in Black
Be thankful for Angels in Black
Yet i still can hear others about
Amidst others screams, I hear them shout
Why don't they run, what keeps them here
Have they no sense, don't they know fear
Who then are these Angels in Black
Who are lifting me up and onto their back
How could they all be lacking the sense
To run and hide with danger so dense
Chorus:
What makes them put their lives on the line
To balance the scales , their lives with mine
Forever I'll owe them for bringing me back
Praying for safety for Angels in Black
Chorus:
Music Bridge
Repeat Chorus:
