Angels & Promises - Big Country

Heavy is the silence

That hangs upon my soul

The velvet glove of the honest truth

As unmistakable as you

Here we are all bound together

No matter win or lose

Angels and promises

Prisoners and silences

(Say a prayer)

The factory of the innocents

The souls that you can’t see

Your father’s hands weren’t the only fists

That took the best of me

Here we are in the same ship sailing

Across an unknown sea

Angels and promises

Prisoners and silences

Cardinals, sinners and saints

In this world, we’re all the same

I’m walking on a mountain without a summit

Swimming in a sea without a shore

Say a prayer

Say a prayer

Angels and promises

Prisoners and silences

Say a prayer

Say a prayer

Say a

Oh Lord

Where did the feeling go?

Oh Lord

I never felt so low

Oh-oh

Angels and promises

Oh-oh
