Calling all avenging angels

Vengeance you know it tastes so good
Vengeance is cold as ice
When it has you in its sights (x2)

CHORUS
Calling all avenging angels
Angels
Kick-ass angels
REPEAT

You could give a call to Scotland Yard

Take me in your arms
Protect me from my enemies (enemies)

You rescue me (rescue me)
Rescue me (rescue me)

REPEAT CHORUS

Angels angels
Kick-ass angels

REPEAT TWICE
