lyrics

A wretched chill throughout the Earth tonight
Solemn images we can't define
The evil choices that we make
Something that we simply can't explain
The path to innocence can't be repaved
And yet the cost is our decay
Can we still have faith?

Will you hear my prayer today?
For the memory of salvation
Tell me, have they found their angels' wings?
(Impossible to replace)
Will you hear my cry?
A plea for all the shattered lives
Reveal your endless grace
Show me that they did not die in vain

Many broken hearts and families torn
The cost of selfishness leaves us all to mourn
With many questions on our minds
How could any human be so cold
To take another life from this rotten world
As the tears fall from their eyes
One too many crimes

Will you hear my prayer today?
For the memory of salvation
Tell me, have they found their angels' wings?
(Impossible to replace)
Will you hear my cry?
A plea for all the shattered lives
Reveal your endless grace
Show me that they did not die in vain

I needed help to breathe, for my own belief
That there was someone watching over from above
Now I surely plead, for all of those in need
That I'm not wrong with what I feel within my heart

Will you hear my prayer today?
For the memory of salvation
Tell me, have they found their angels' wings?
(Impossible to replace)
Will you hear my cry?
A plea for all the shattered lives
Reveal your endless grace
Show me that they did not die in vain

(A wretched chill throughout the Earth tonight
Solemn images we can't define
Is this the bittersweet price of life?)
Show me that they did not die in vain
(Many broken hearts and families torn
The cost of selfishness leaves us all to mourn
Is this the bittersweet price of life?)
Show me that they did not die in vain
