Lita Ford - War Of The Angels


She runs through the streets 
So desperately young 
Her eyes aflame 
And her mind undone 
She aches for the songs 
That will never be sung 
And the heroes so quickly forgotten 

She sees a friend 
In the church yard light 
Laughin' and jokin' 
And talkin' to the sky 
Shots ring out 
And he hits the ground 
He never opens his eyes 
And she cries 

Heaven is closed to the angels below 
Streets of gold are now paved with sorrow 
God only knows what happens to love 
When the innocence is gone 
And the war of the angels has begun 

The ghosts in her head 
Have faces and names 
They're soldiers and children 
All one in the same 
In the streets and the alleys 
Hear the battle cries sound 
And the angels run for cover 
As the world comes tumbling down 

All through the night the battle is fought 
They can never win back the lives they've lost 
Down on her knees, in the tear stained dawn 
She just closes her eyes and whispers goodbye 

Heaven is closed to the angels below 
Streets of gold are now paved with sorrow 
God only knows what happens to love 
When the innocence is gone 
And the war of the angels is never won 

Another day in the neighborhood 
Better dry your eyes and be off to school 
She packs her lunch and her daddy's gun 
Seems much too old to be so young 

The battle begins the day that you're born 
Into this world, so heartsick and war torn 
Somebody better come and carry her away 
Maybe this angel will live... 
To fly again someday 

Heaven is closed to the angels below 
Streets of gold are now paved with sorrow 
God only knows what happens to love 
When the innocence is gone 
And the war of the angels rages on 
Rages on 
Oh, yeah, yeah
