Praise and worship, bow your head
Say a prayer for the too soon dead
Call it God's will, call it fate
Call for mercy, it's too late
This ain't where the angels dwell
South of heaven, north of hell
Twenty one guns and cathedral bells
South of heaven, north of hell
South of heaven, north of hell

Mothers, hold your babies close
Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
Cannot keep them safe on earth
So throw your rose down in the dirt
This ain't where the angels dwell
South of heaven, north of hell
Twenty one guns and cathedral bells
South of heaven, north of hell
South of heaven, north of hell

Holy water, tears of pain
Cannot wash away the stain
God you gave your only son
Well, you are not the only one
You are not the only one
This ain't where the angels dwell
South of heaven, north of hell
Twenty one guns and cathedral bells
South of heaven, north of hell
South of heaven, north of hell
