Momma I fear the night is falling
|
Blacker than jet and cold as ice
|
And somewhere a gentle voice is calling
|
And I hear the sounds of paradise
|
|
See the innocent dying
|
Has the world gone insane
|
Now the death angelsflying
|
|
And he's calling my name
|
|
I know this will be my finest hour
|
I stand face to face with the enemy
|
Defying his awesome evil power
|
And hold my light high for the world to see
|
|
And nothing else matters
|
Just hold fast to the right
|
See the enemy scatter
|
See his forces take flight
|
|
Momma don't shed a tear for me
|
Don't wring your hands and moan
|
Remember it's darkest
|
Just before dawn
|
You know we'll meet again
|
Around that shining throne
|
My hands were not empty
|
I was never alone
|
|
See the innocent dying
|
Has the world gone insane
|
Now the death angels are flying
|
And he's calling my name
|
