Dream Theater – On the Backs of Angels
Audio Published on June 28, 2011
Lyrics
Standing on the backs of angels
destined to create
Mounting the attack
while heroes carry your weight
We spiral toward disaster
survival fading faster
Riding out the wave
content to feed off the machine
Leading 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 li ... See More
destined to create
Mounting the attack
while heroes carry your weight
We spiral toward disaster
survival fading faster
Riding out the wave
content to feed off the machine
Leading 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 li ... See More
