[Verse 1]
When the laughter and joy has all rotten and faded away
When our heroes are dead and the heavens have locked down their gates
When our nightmares are roaming the earth from dusk until day
There's an angel in the wind I've heard you say

[Pre-Chorus]
When the fire inside fizzles out and the shadows descend
When our priests and our prophets surrender proclaiming the end
Though the future before us is grim it's ours to defend
There's an angel in the wind you say my friend

[Chorus]
And I'm not gonna wait till we're broken and beat to the floor
And I'm not gonna wait cause I can't take this pain anymore
But when you're in fear when you're in doubt
Just say my name we'll figure it out
We're the angels in the wind we've waited for

[Verse 2]
When all beauty is lost and the colors all fade from our eyes
When our children can't sleep through the screams and the sounds of the cries
Everyday there's a pain we've endured for all of our lives
There's an angel in the wind through blackened skies

[Chorus]
And I'm not gonna wait till we're broken and beat to the floor
And I'm not gonna wait cause I can't take this pain anymore
But when you're in fear when you're in doubt
Just say my name we'll figure it out
We're the angels in the wind we've waited for
[Instrumental]

[Outro]
And they say that they love us but leave us to die on the floor
And I'm not gonna wait cause they can't hold us back anymore
But when you're in fear when you're in doubt
Just say my name we'll figure it out
We're the angels in the wind we've waited for
