Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You won’t do well to silence me
With your words or wagging tongue
With your long tall tales of sorrow
Your song yet to be sung

[Chorus 1]
I won’t be offended
If I’m left across the great divide
Believe me, they will follow
Just to watch another angel die
Watch another angel die

[Verse 2]
You won’t do well to darken me
With your secrets and your lies
With your piercing code of silence
Relax, enjoy the ride

[Chorus 2]
I’ll meet you by the river
Or maybe on the other side
You’ll find it hard to swallow
When you watch another angel die
Watch another angel die

[Verse 3]
Another sun is rising
Another day has come
You can find me, I’ll be waiting
Until the day is done

[Chorus 3]
I won’t be persuaded
Kiss your doubts goodbye
Everything seems hollow
When you watch another angel die
Watch another angel die

[Outro]
Watch another angel die
Watch another angel die
Watch another angel die
Watch another angel die
