| Lyrics:Edward Setser/Troy Seals Music:Edward Setser/Troy Seals | |
| He looked down into her blue eyes, and said | |
| 'Say a prayer for me'. She | |
| Threw her arms around him, whispered | |
| 'God will keep us free'. | |
| They could hear the riders comin', He said | |
| 'This is my last fight...If they | |
| Take me back to Texas, they won't | |
| Take me back a-live. | |
| CHORUS A: | |
| There were seven Spanish angels, at the | |
| altar of the sun. | |
| They were prayin' for the lovers, in the | |
| valley of the gun. | |
| When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared, | |
| there was thunder from the throne, | |
| And seven spanish angels, took a-nother | |
| angel home. | |
| VERSE 2: | |
| She reached down and picked the gun up, | |
| that lay smokin in his hand. | |
| She said, 'Father please forgive me; | |
| I can't make it without my man.' | |
| And she knew the gun was empty, | |
| And she knew she couldn't win, | |
| But her final prayer was answered | |
| When the rifles fired again. | |
| CHORUS 2: (1/2 step higher): **REPEAT ONCE | |
| There were seven Spanish angels, at the | |
| altar of the sun. | |
| They were prayin' for the lovers, in the | |
| valley of the gun. | |
| When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared, | |
| there was thunder from the throne, | |
| And seven spanish angels, took a-nother | |
| angel home. |
