Say farewell
And kiss the life goodbye
It's ended
'Cause no one here can tell
They let it pass them by
The stolen tears they cry
They send it
Every waking hour
That keeps you away
In some other place
Every weeping flower
To touch your face
Makes you dream
Of long forgotten songs
From where you belong
Night after night
When the devil's come closer
Shadows appear on the run
Well, you hope and you pray
You can't wait till it's over
Angels of mercy won't come
Things don't change
But in some other life
Well, maybe
It wouldn't be so strange
To question what feels right
There's nothing black or white
It's crazy
And when the heavens fall
The father and son and the holy ghost
Yeah, they're
They're up against the wall
They'll cry the most
You shoot them down
And treasure each new day
Find no other way
Night after night
When the devil's come closer
Shadows appear on the run
Well, you hope and you pray
You can't wait till it's over
Angels of mercy won't come
No desert sun burns brighter
No wind could blow as strong
No chains will hold you tighter
Or carry you along
Night after night
When the devil's come closer
Shadows appear on the run
Well, you hope and you pray
You can't wait till it's over
Angels of mercy won't come
And then night after night
When the devil's come closer
Shadows appear on the run
Well, you hope and you pray
You can't wait till it's over
Angels of mercy won't come
