V1:
My eyes were consumed
By the silence in the room
Your dreams would not wait ????
From the worlds
That we braved
Chorus:
Hello hello sad angel
Have you come to fight the war?
The drums of power are calling
My soul marches out the door
Before we heard together ??????
The crowd calling out for more
Hello hello sad angel
Have you come to fight the war?
V2:
I always saw the words ?????
With a prayer and a curse
Your pain had to sleep
With a sword in its teeth ?????
Chorus
Bridge - is guitar only, no vocal
Chorus
Guitar solo --> Outro

Yeah, I had posted my initial deciphering of the lyrics after Columbus. This is what I heard based on those early vids:
Quote:
My eyes will consume all the silence in the room
Your dreams will not wait for the words that we pray (?)
Hello, hello Sad Angel
Have you come to fight the war?
Here comes survival calling (?)
My soul marches out the door
I thought we heard together (?)
The crowd calling out for more
Hello, hello Sad Angel
Have you come to fight the war?
My eyes saw the words with a prayer and a curse (?)
The pain had to sleep with a sore that it keeps (?)

The ones with the question marks I don't think are completely accurate (hence the question marks), and I was hoping that newer videos would bring more clarity but I still have trouble making out what they say there. Yours seems to fit too even though they are slightly different haha.
I believe Lindsey said Sad Angel was about Stevie's reluctance to go forward with a new album for FM.
