As angels herald undying holy fire
To this world alive with hate so strong
Mankind hanging by a thin steel wire
–
Hymnal message ceases to inspire
The passion of the old in song
As angels herald undying holy fire
–
Fear and suffering heard from the crier
Over the coffin of one who loved all along
Mankind hanging by a thin steel wire
–
Heaven help the weary as they tire
From carrying the load a whole life long
As angels herald undying holy fire
–
Nothing ends the suffering as the entire
Race lifts bloody hands admitting wrong
Mankind hanging by a thin steel wire
–
Where is the holy light of the supplier
Of faith when you just don’t belong?
As angels herald undying holy fire
Mankind hanging by a thin steel wire
