[Riff 1]

[Verse]

Walkin' out on Main Street lone angel lets out a sigh

Goin' unnoticed by the traffic in the streets

He's worried about their lives

The little town isn't the same anymore

The lone angel hardly belongs

People humming about their business

Without a spiritual song

[Chorus]

And you cry, lone angel 'neath the blackened sky

And the tears keep falling from your angry eyes

And the darkness gathers in the town tonight

And the hosts of heaven are bound from the fight

F#m A [Riff 1]

Because the saints aren't praying for their lives

Do it if it feels good to you, that's the message, the message in sight

Lone angel knows what they're saying

There's not really wrong or right

He walks along with his head hung low

Is there really no respite

Darker forces are working here

And they're showin' off their might

[Chorus]

Yeah, well you cry, lone angel 'neath the blackened sky

And the tears keep falling from your angry eyes

And the darkness gathers in the town tonight

And the hosts of heaven are bound from the fight

Because the saints aren't praying for their lives

[Bridge/Solo]

E-|--12\--|

[Riff 1]

On the hill there's a red-brick church

Barely a remnant alive

Hardly anyone prays anymore, hardly anyone to face the fight

A little man with his hands clasped tight

He's praying for the world tonight

He may be just a little spark

But he's enough to start the light

[Chorus]

And you cry, lone angel 'neath the blackened sky

And the tears keep falling from your angry eyes

And the darkness gathers in the town tonight

And the hosts of heaven are starting to fight

'Cause there's one little saint praying for their lives

[Chorus]

And you cry, lone angel 'neath the blackened sky

And the tears keep falling from your angry eyes

And the darkness gathers in the town tonight

But the hosts of heaven are starting to fight

'Cause there's one little saint praying

for their lives Praying for their

lives One little saint Praying for their

lives One little saint Praying for their

lives
