i heard from you the sky broke through today
smoked out the sun and blackened the blue away
you said you saw souls rain down
stream past the glass and cling to the clouds
before you laid your heart on the ground
could you hear the angels call?

i heard from you the ground fell through today
nothin' below where grass once grew today
you said you felt it leave your feet
tremble down through empty streets
before you followed fast and deep
could you hear the angels?

cause i cannot hear freedom ring
just silence when the saviour sings
the hollow when the blue sky falls
it swallows all the angels' calls

baby baby
you know best
so whisper in that soft sweet breath
that when they laid you down to rest
that you heard the angels call
