Send Me An Angel

The Scorpions · Icon: Scorpions [2010]

The wise man said just walk this way

To the dawn of the light

The wind will blow into your face

As the years pass you by

Hear this voice from deep inside

It's the call of your heart

Close your eyes and you will find

Passage out of the dark



Here I Am

Will you send me an angel

Here I am

In the land of the morning star



The wise man said just find your place

In the eye of the storm

Seek the roses along the way

Just beware of the Thorns



Here I am

Will you send me an angel

Here I am

In the land of the morning star



The wise man said just raise your hand

And reach out for the spell

Find the door to the promised land

Just believe in yourself

Hear this voice from deep inside

It's the call of your heart

Close you're eyes and you will find

The way out of the dark



Here I am

Will you send me an angel

Here I am

In the land of the morning star

Here I am

Will you send me an angel

Here I am

In the land of the morning star

Send Me An Angel

Released in 2010 on the compilation album Icon: Scorpions, "Send Me An Angel" features the German rock band The Scorpions performing a cover of the original 1973 hit by The Yardbirds. The track exemplifies the band's signature hard rock sound, characterized by Klaus Meine's distinctive vocals and the iconic, soaring guitar work of Rudolf Schenker. While the Scorpions have a vast discography spanning decades, this recording highlights their ability to reinterpret classic rock anthems with their own powerful energy. The song serves as a testament to the group's enduring influence in the hard rock genre and their commitment to performing timeless material alongside their original compositions.
