When His Angels Don't Sing

My body's getting closer to the edge

My sins are getting harder to confess

And I can't wash off all the blood that stains my hands

Slow down, baby, walk back up the steps

Whispers in the walls and a weight on my chest

Will I find the strength to walk what I pray

Or will I sink beneath my grave?

What is a man when his love has gone cold?

A gun in his hand and a chamber that's full

And who's gonna stand when his angels don't sing?

And who's gonna run at the devil's first scream?

And I cry out, my vision's blurry

One more sweat line, no more worries

Behind the curtains, I'm still hurting

One more sweet line, oh, I've earned it

Oh, my mind's sick, did I deserve this?

One more sweet line, I'm still learning

My body's damaged, but I can't quit

One more sweet line, nobody's perfect

What is a man when his love has gone cold?

A gun in his hand and a chamber that's full

And who's gonna stand when his angels don't sing?

And who's gonna run at the devil's first scream?

Who's gonna walk through those flames?

Who's gonna dance on the coals?

Who's gonna love you, baby

When your body takes its toll?

What is a man when his love has gone cold?

A gun in his hand and a chamber that's full

And who's gonna stand when his angels don't sing?

And who's gonna run at the devil's first scream?
