Song Lyrics

"Angel Of Light"

by Petra
Album: Never Say Die / Washes Whiter Than

Words and music: Bob Hartman

City lights are flashing, they call you to the street
Hearts are filled with passion in everyone you meet
The boulevard is waiting, it wants to get you high
The neon signs are waiting to sell you anything
You wanna buy

But I know your devices and it shouldn't seem so odd
You lied from the beginning, I see through your facade

Angel of light, I see you glow in the night
But you only bring darkness to my soul
Angel of light, you're telling me wrong is right
But I won't let your evil take control

They follow in your footsteps not knowing that you fell
Bumper to bumper on the freeway to hell
You lead them into wrong and you make it look so right
You lead them into darkness and make them think you lead them into light

But I know where you're going, too bad you're not alone
If it wasn't for the real light I might have never known

You got the clergy working overtime to widen the narrow way
You've got politicians everywhere listening to what you say
You've got false apostles teaching lies, perverting the only way
You've got principalities and powers waiting to obey
You've got philosophies and vain deceits lying to deceive
You've got hate and greed, ungody lust in the deadly web you weave
Somehow you've got so many think you're not even there
One look is all it takes to get them blinded by your glare
