The Camp lyrics

[Verse 1: PJ Harvey]
I saw children through a fence
Standing by blue canvas tents
I called to them, they moved like ghosts
Gliding, silent and remote

A girl whose smile was a straight line
Looked like a creature out of time
A grey boy, burnt by cigarettes
Pushed his scarred hands through the fence

When I turned and tried to run
I saw ten thousand children
Were laid in lines, wrapped in white sheets
Along a godforsaken street

[Verse 2: Ramy Essam]
[?]

[Chorus]
I prayed an angel from the clouds
Would free the children, free them, oh oh
I prayed and waited for an age
I waited but no angel came

I prayed an angel from the clouds
Would free the children, free them, oh oh
I prayed and waited for an age
I waited but no angel came
I prayed an angel from the clouds
Would free the children, free them, oh oh
I prayed and waited for an age
I waited but no angel came

I prayed an angel from the clouds
Would free the children, free them, oh oh
I prayed and waited for an age
I waited but no angel came

[Outro]
I prayed an angel would come, but no angel came
I prayed an angel would come, but no angel came
I prayed an angel would come, but no angel came
I prayed an angel would come, but no angel came
