Angels and Demons
tug at the soul
expanding a rift
into a black hole
that sucks you in before
you see the cost
until you realize
you're hopelessly lost
CHORUS
unfortunate victories
majestic defeats
the body presses forward
the spirit retreats
it's the intangeable struggle
within hearts and minds
ever shaping the outcome
of the war inside
V2
by night we wrestle
with dreams and myths
while by day we worry
with current events
but nation after nation
can rise and fall
still the battle remains
raging in us all
CHORUS
BRIDGE
it's how the richest of the rich
can know nothing but pain
while the poorest of the poor
can laugh in the rain
it's the thread that when pulled
can unravel the brain
and why when everything's gone
some things still remain
it's the intangeable struggle
within hearts and minds
ever shaping the outcome
of the war inside
CHORUS
