I was walking down the road that leads to hopeWhere souls in desperation need to goI see the glow but something's wrongIt seems the light of love is goneThey've destroyed the place where children go to prayNow I'm staring at the skyAt the walls the fires nestCasting shadows on the world that now existsNow the church must live with itWe can build these walls againBut for now I pray for mercyOn our soulsAngels cry when innocence is shatteredAnd the love for your brother no longer mattersNow our faith is on the groundThe house of God is burning downAnd we're standing in the ashesOf our shameWhen angels cryAngels cryI'll be the first to extend my hand to youAnd forgiveness will beginTo heal our woundsOh yeahOh yeahIt's time to see this eye to eyeBrown or yellowBlack or whiteFrom these burning embersWe can rise againAngels cry when innocence is shatteredAnd the love for your brother no longer mattersNow our faith is on the groundOur faith is on the groundThe house of God is burning downThe faith of God is sweetOur God's holy authorityChanting, whisperingI'm highAnd they're likeWith our faithThis most we can doJust onceCries until our last breathDo inappropriate thingsHey, can we try to hear the pain when angels cry?Cause only love can lead to change.Can we try to hear the pain when angels cry?Can we try?Oh, when angels cry.Oh, when angels cry.
