Text: Judas Priest. Angel of Retribution. Angel.

Angel, put sad wings around me now
Protect me from this world of sin so that we can rise again
Oh angel, we can find our way somehow
Escaping from the world we're in to a place where we began

And I know we'll find a better place and piece of mind
Just tell me that it's all you want for you and me
Angel won't you set me free

Angel, remember how we chased the sun
Then reaching for the stars at night as our lives had just begun
When I close my eyes, I hear your velvet wings and cry
I'm waiting here with open arms, oh can't you see
Angel shine your light on me

Angel we'll meet once more I'll pray
When all my sins are washed away
Hold me inside your wings and stay
Angel take me far away

Put your sad wings around me now, angel take me far away
Put sad wings around me now, so that we can rise again
Put sad wings around me now, angel take me far away
Put sad wings around me now, so that we can rise again
