Something's up on the northern skyline Angels descending from their gallery on high Rally around me slowly Angels with dirty faces Leaving their lipstick trace across the human race Heavenly host unholy Walking the wire, I jump the gun Some of us fly too close to the sun Gone are the days when Heaven could wait Thought there was time but now it's too late So when you hear the angels sing Get ready to spread your wings How the hell am I going to do this? Heavenly bodies multiplying through the mist Steadily swell their numbers Under celestial orders Ascending the clouds right up into the stratosphere Marching us down to Slumbertown Walking the wire, I'm taking aim Keeping my tail ahead of the game Gone are the days of Heaven's Lament Satellite plays the whole event So when you want to take them higher Get ready to open fire In Arcadia All they've made of light is shade A halcyon retreat, now frayed Stay together In a Hell-for-leather world Torn apart by angels and their battlecries Walking the wire, I jump the gun Some of us fly too close to the sun Gone are the days when Heaven could wait Thought there was time but now it's too late So when you hear the angels sing Get ready to spread their wings
