Angels of Mercy Songtext
von Mark Dignam

You went to work anyway - You had no choice
You′re from the neighborhood - That's never had a voice
You′ve always been cannon fodder - On the front line
You've seen yourself in history books - Hoped for change this time

Tide starts to rise - There's sirens in the street
They′re clapping from the balconies - You′re aching on your feet
Joe died on Sat - Henrietta went last week
Ships are all stuck out at sea - Praying for the heat
Schools have all shut down - Kids don't get to meet
You feel like an old backyard shed - Crumbling to its knees
Sam′s in tears at the window - Can't hold Jane in his arms
His shoulders shake in torment - His heart screams in alarm
Sleep tonight - Please sleep tonight


Our Angels of Mercy
Our Angels of Mercy
Our Angels of Mercy

You know they rattle your cage - Like they′ve always done
Today the worlds upside down - You figured it's just another one

Tide starts to rise - There′s sirens in the street
They're clapping from the balconies - You're aching on your feet
Joe died on Sat - Henrietta went last week
Ships are all stuck out at sea - Praying for the heat
Schools have all shut down - Kids don′t get to meet
You feel like an old backyard shed - Crumbling to its knees
Sam′s in tears at the window - Can't hold Jane in his arms
His shoulders shake in torment - His heart screams in alarm
Sleep tonight - Please sleep tonight
