The Last City - Angels Lyrics

Faith isn't only for the reverent
Prodigals and saints will all be saved
You'll see my footprints on your way up to heaven
Maybe wonder why they go the other way

Reaping what you sowed was once rewarding
Now the downside of redemption is living life by grace
If your sun forbore to shine tomorrow morning
How close would you be to the flames?

God has saved the chosen, I will seek the lost
When they're locked away and broken we will be much better off
My children do not fear
We didn't turn our backs when they nailed him to the cross

I've walked the dusty trail of Eden
With the same two feet that stand before you now
I've touched the halos of every heathen
Learned the secrets of the saints and the horns beneath their crowns

The opiate of the masses is wearing weaker
It was only a placebo from the start
You agnostics and fellow believers
These chains can heal your broken hearts

God has saved the chosen, I will seek the lost
When they're locked away and broken we will be much better off
My children do not fear
We didn't turn our backs when they nailed him to the cross

Faith isn't only for the reverent
Prodigals and saints will all be shamed
You'll see my footprints on your way up to heaven
Maybe wonder why they go the other way
