[Verse 1]
Climb the long stairs to the thin air
Over clouds and past the moon
Don't look down there, leave your long prayers
There is no one here but you
[Chorus]
Oh my, an angel
If we are brave enough, ooh
She'll take my anger up
Oh my, an angel
I've waited long enough, ooh
The mountain opened up
[Verse 2]
As the blood pours down your shoulders
As the lake comes up to you
Beaming terror like a mirror
From the water how you flew
[Bridge 1]
(Head over the collarbone
Sun over the horizon
When you broke how it shone
Head over the horizon)
[Chorus]
Oh my, an angel
If we are brave enough, ooh
She'll take my anger up
Oh my, an angel
I've waited long enough, ooh
The mountain opened up
(Oh my, an angel)
[Bridge 2]
(Do you think that you could ever fly
In the twinkling of your burning eye
To the forest of your fervent youth
Where began the end of all we knew?)
[Chorus]
Oh my, an angel
If we are brave enough, ooh
She'll take my anger up
Oh my, an angel
I've waited long enough, ooh
The mountain opened up
(Ooh, ooh)
