Intro
Riff 1
Verse
Walkin' out on Main Street lone angel lets out a sigh Goin' unnoticed by the traffic in the streets He's worried about their lives The little town isn't the same anymore The lone angel hardly belongs People humming about their business Without a spiritual song
Chorus
And you cry, lone angel 'neath the blackened sky And the tears keep falling from your angry eyes And the darkness gathers in the town tonight And the hosts of heaven are bound from the fight F#m A [Riff 1] Because the saints aren't praying for their lives
Do it if it feels good to you, that's the message, the message in sight Lone angel knows what they're saying There's not really wrong or right He walks along with his head hung low Is there really no respite Darker forces are working here And they're showin' off their might
Chorus
Yeah, well you cry, lone angel 'neath the blackened sky And the tears keep falling from your angry eyes And the darkness gathers in the town tonight And the hosts of heaven are bound from the fight Because the saints aren't praying for their lives
Bridge/Solo
Riff 1
On the hill there's a red-brick church Barely a remnant alive Hardly anyone prays anymore, hardly anyone to face the fight A little man with his hands clasped tight He's praying for the world tonight He may be just a little spark But he's enough to start the light
Chorus
And you cry, lone angel 'neath the blackened sky And the tears keep falling from your angry eyes And the darkness gathers in the town tonight And the hosts of heaven are starting to fight 'Cause there's one little saint praying for their lives
Chorus
And you cry, lone angel 'neath the blackened sky And the tears keep falling from your angry eyes And the darkness gathers in the town tonight But the hosts of heaven are starting to fight 'Cause there's one little saint praying
for their lives Praying for their
lives One little saint Praying for their
lives One little saint Praying for their
lives
