Lyrics
Angels
(c) 2002 Kimon / Ultrascene Entertainment
How would you feel if everything that was real
came tumbling down in one single moment?
How would you deal with a thousand tons of steel
raining down on you with no relent?
Where would you run if the smoke blocked out the sun
and the earth below your feet had come undone?
How fast would you run?
How fast would you run?
Where are the angels on my side
To find a place for me to hide
Or just to help pick up my stride
Before worlds collide
Have you been unnerved? Could it all have been deserved?
Can you find an answer here in what remains?
Would you watch them grieve? Then second-guess what you believe?
Could you keep your faith in things you can't explain?
And where will you hide from the demons left inside?
In the aftermath who pulls the master's chain?
How far would you go?
How far would you go?
What would you do If the rain fell down on you?
Would you have the nerve to start the brawl?
Did they school you good Until you finally understood
If you stand for nothing you'll fall for anything at all
But when God does not provide Will you switch you side
Or hold your tenets till the last man falls
What will you become
How fast will you run
