On the Backs of Angels - Dream Theater

Standing on the backs

Of angels destined to create

Mounting the attack

While heroes carry your weight

We spiral towards disaster

Survival fading faster

Riding out the wave

Content to feed off the machine

Bleeding us to death

The new American dream

You’re blinded by your hunger

Beware your days are numbered

Tears fall from the shameless

Shelter me Guide me to the edge of the water

Selfless are the righteous

Burden me Lead me like a lamb to the slaughter

Blurring lines drawn in between

What is right and what is wrong

Victims on parade are stringing us along

We’re on to your agenda

The dead-end road to nowhere

Tears fall from the shameless

Shelter me Guide me to the edge of the water

Selfless are the righteous

Burden me Lead me like a lamb to the slaughter

Tears fall from the shameless

Shelter me Guide me to the edge of the water

Selfless are the righteous

Burden me Lead me like a lamb to the slaughter

Selfless are the righteous

Burden me Lead me like a lamb to the slaughter
