Would The Angels Say - Hope For The Dying

I wish that we could wake this sleeping city

So desolate

I wish that they’d remove the veil from their face

I heard them say

Yet they remain…

Take their hearts and mold them to everything that you are

Take their souls;

ignite them until they burn for you

Make this day, the day your reckoning bestowed

On hungry hearts, the flavor of mercy and justice

Would the angels say

I wish could wake these sleeping people

We see them lay

So beautiful, perfect and perfectly broken

Yet we see them lay

And they remain…
