CHORUS
And I saw an angel come down unto me
In her hand she holds the very key
Words of compassion, words of peace
And in the distance (one two three four)
An army's marching feet (one two three four)
But behold, we will watch them fall
And we lay down on the sand of the sea
And before us animosity will stand and decree
That we speak not of love, only blasphemy
And in the distance 6 others will curse me
But that's alright (that's alright), for I will watch them fall
(One two three four five six seven)
CHORUS
(Just how old)
And we will see a plague and a river of blood (oh)
And every evil soul will surely die in spite of
Their 7 tears, but do not fear
For in the distance 12 souls from now
You and me will still be here, we will still be here
(Ah ah ah ooh) there will be a new city with the streets of gold
The young so educated, they never grow old
And a, there will be no death for with every breath
The voice of many colors sings a song that's so bold
Sing it while we watch them fall (oh...)
CHORUS
Huh (just how old)
Huh (just how old)
(Just how old)
